General guidelines
The Green Platform will help accelerate the green transition in the business sector in order to reach the goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 on the road to a low-emission society in 2050. Projects are to ensure a socio-economically profitable and internationally competitive Norwegian business sector.
Projects may include a green restructuring of existing trade and industry or lay the foundation for the emergence of new sustainable trade and industry and new green value chains. It is both about changing existing production methods and processes through increased use of enabling technologies, improvement of current or development of new technology, processes, products, services or business models.
The purpose is to shift Norwegian business and industry towards zero emissions, with increased resource utilisation, maintenance of biodiversity and reduced negative environmental impact.
