3. Oslo’s vision is a zero emission city. The
Strategy: Daring to make changes and
developing a city that allows for both
current and future generations to thrive
and live a good life.
Target: Oslo has as set itself the target to
cut greenhouse gas emissions by 50% by
2030 and becoming fossil free by 2050.
The new City Government is currently
proposing to raise the bar and aim to
reach 50% by 2020.

5. Reaching the climate targets requires
collaboration across levels of government,
the business sector, academia and the
local citizens. Hence, when developing
Oslo’s climate and energy strategy, the city
ensured the involvement of different
stakeholders in establishing a strategy and
a road map for reaching the city’s climate
targets.

6. How organise the process to develope a
strategy?
- Starting point: from the goverment:
ZERO greenhouse gas emissions in 2050
- all stakeholders was invited
- 250 people pulled into action
- working groups: public transport, transport,
buildings, energy production, municipal
services etc.
- Time span: one year

8. Norway and Oslo have a unique position
when it comes to access to renewable
energy through hydro power. Oslo
wishes to take advantage of this position to
showcase the possibilities for electrification
of the transport sector, testing of electric
vehicles and maturing the electric vehicle
market. As testing ground and dedicated
work to produce new solutions, Oslo’s
experience can offer valuable insights for
other cities when they, in time, reach the
same levels of renewable energy in their
energy systems.

11. A robust energy system: Oslo’s climate
and energy strategy focuses on energy
efficiency actions for both new and existing
buildings. The aim is to switch the energy
source for heating in buildings. Electricity
consumption is to be reduced, encouraging
the use of fossil free district heating. Oil
boilers will be banned from 2020. This
means increased utilisation of local energy
sources and waste heat, along with
introducing a smart grid system for
controlling the need for electric power.
These measures will enable Oslo to
manage the increased electrification of the
transport sector without requiring new,
unnecessary investments in the existing
energy infrastructure. .

20. Ruter, Oslo’s public transportation company, states:
• In Oslo, all public transport will run on renewable fuels by the
end of 2020.
• From 2020, busses, taxis and new ferries will utilise biogas,
hydrogen, biodiesel or electricity.
• Urban development will primarily be through densification
around public transport hubs and along public transport
routes.
• Transfer Oslo into a city where walking, cycling, and public
transport are the preferred solutions.

21. The time for action is now. Vice Mayor for
Environment and Transport, City of Oslo,
states this very clearly:
“Climate emission reduction is not
something that is to be done by
someone else, somewhere else at some
other time. We need to make this
happen right now, to be able to deal
with the climate challenges the world is
facing”

22. RUTER, the bus company in Oslo
Today
- 120 buses: 100 biodiesel
- 90 biogas
- 5 hydrogen
Next 7 years:
Ruter buys 1000 buses

24. A hydrogen – locomotive can be a much lower investment compares to
elefication of the hole line. Vehicle Projects delivered this to the mining
company: Anglo American Platinum in South Africa

26. Electric vehicles: Oslo is the world’s
electric vehicle capital. The share of
electric vehicles is increasing radically, and
in 2015 almost 30% of all new cars sold in
Oslo are electric vehicles or hydrogen cars.
The target is 100%. To reduce both global
and local emissions from mobility, Oslo has
promoted electric vehicles through local
and national incentives.

33. Electric and Hydrogen vehicles
● Investing in 1,000 charging stations in
the city and preparing for biofuel stations
● Free parking for electric vehicles
● Free energy at local charging stations
(the City will now stop this incentive and
encourage market involvement in the
biofuel station business).
● Exemption of VAT on electric vehicles
● Permission for electric vehicles to use
the bus lanes
● Free passage on the toll ring around
Oslo
● Reducing parking space for other cars
and increasing their parking fees
● The City of Oslo will now ‘tighten’ the
everyday life of the users of fossil fuel
driven cars by introducing zero-emission
areas in the city.

36. Biogas
- Fuel: biogas from
fermentation of
organic waste
- Can also use LNG

40. The experiences harvested in Oslo can be
applied to ease and prepare the transition
process in other major cities and regions.
The transition also requires a change in
governance structures. Oslo will
therefore increase the focus on identifying
and implementing appropriate
organisational structures that allow for
sustainable urban development,
especially through involving different
stakeholders and citizens to reach
acceptable solutions that promote the
paradigm shift. This means paying special
attention to forming the lifestyle of the
younger generation. Dialogue with the
younger generations is also seen as key
for finding the new solutions that the World
needs.
Using a holistic approach, Oslo is one of
the many Nordic cities that work to realise
the green transition.

41. Good luck!
