Per capita, Iceland consumes more than double the electricity of its nearest revival, Norway, and around four times that of oil giants such as Qatar, Kuwait, the UAE, and the USA. In real terms, Iceland, with a population of around 400,000, consumes the same amount of electricity as My...
However, in the process of restructuring the EGVC, due to the differences in the types of energy that have been dominant at different periods, such as coal during the first industrial revolution, oil during the OPEC era, and renewable energy at present (Rubio and Folchi, 2012), countries ...
More recent activities have included the Norwegian Board of Technology's focus on Norway's emerging capacity to produce green hydrogen through the availability of cheaper sources of renewables (NBT, 2021). Germany continues to focus on energy efficiency in building construction to discern adequate ...
For Norway, the country with the highest EV adoption rates, Fevang et al. (2021) use detailed data of private car owners to uncover factors facilitating BEV adoption. They find that JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL ECONOMICS AND POLICY 441 socioeconomics factors such as wealth, income, and education ...

Also, the colder it is outside, the less efficient an air-to-air heat pump will be. Nevertheless, over half the buildings in icy Norway use heat pumps. Some people there have opted for pumps that draw heat from under the ground, which stays more consistently warm, rather than heat from...
The national authorities of Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway and Sweden submitted a proposal to the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) to restrict per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) under REACH, the European Union’s (EU) chemicals regulation. ...

(2005) use choice experiment methodology to study preferences for different fisheries management programmes in Norway and the UK respectively by studying the relative importance of diverse (non-monetary) attributes. Another example is Casey et al. (2008), which use attributes, such as better ...
The results show that being energy poor increases the probability to use carbon-intensive energy sources for heating compared to electricity, and that COVID and the war in Ukraine have affected this relationship. The increase in energy poverty over those years has negatively affected the decarbonis...
