Abstract
The Norwegian commitment under the Kyoto Protocol is that the emissions of GHG in the period 2008–2012 shall not be more than 1 per cent higher than in 1990, when emissions were 55.2 million tons CO2—equivalents. This implies that the emissions have to be reduced by 3 million tons compared to the level in 1996, and by 12 million tons compared to projected emissions in 2010 (see Figure 1).
This chapter is to a large extent based on ECON-memorandum 53/98, Project no.10659, DAN/JMS/PSc/KjR/mbh.
