Pathways for GHG emission reduction in Norwegian road transport sector: Perspective on consumption of passenger car transport and electricity mix

摘要

Electrification of the transport sector is considered as a solution to reduce greenhouse gases (GHGs) emissions and achieve sustainable mobility. Specifically in the case of electrification of passenger vehicles, various industrial and policy initiatives have been introduced. In this article, we present and assess three approaches - pro-technology, pro-simplicity and mix (of the aforementioned approaches) - to achieve target emission reductions in the Norwegian road transport sector. We also assess the influence of including 'Guarantee of Origin' certification for the electricity production in accounting for typical consumption electricity mix in Norway.
