Working in and with the green shift Engagements relating to new energy sources, climate technology and green industry have boomed in 2021. BAHR’s Energy & Environment group has at this crucial time been strengthened with former energy law professor Henrik Bjørnebye. This year has seen the publication of the Government’s Climate Report, with specific measures for meeting climate objectives in Norway. The Energy Report was published before the summer, outlining a green industry and infrastructure transition. This was followed by the Hurdal Declaration, which points in the same direction, before the climate year came to a close with COP26. BAHR’s Energy & Environment group keeps a close eye on these processes and has had an active year with a large number of engagements contributing to the green shift. - The year started with the IPO of Aker Horizons, Aker’s new green platform. It thereafter continued with the IPO of the battery company Freyr in New York, which will be establishing a large-scale industrial facility in Mo i Rana, Northern Norway. We have acted for Aker Carbon Capture, which has comprehensive carbon capture plant plans, and we have been heavily involved with the Klemetsrud plant and its carbon capture vision, says Jon Christian Thaulow, Partner and Head of the BAHR Energy & Environment group, before adding: - We have also assisted with regulatory issues on the Hegra project, which is a collaboration project between Statkraft, Yara and Aker that is planning the establishment of zero-emission fertiliser production at Herøya.
