Climate and Pollution Agency (Klif)

The Norwegian Climate and Pollution Agency (Klif) is identifying different Norwegian options, measures and incentives to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in short, medium and long term. Production and use of hydrogen is one medium to long term option in a portfolio of options, particularly if the hydrogen is produced from renewable energy sources or from natural gas in combination with CO₂ separation and storage. Klif has also evaluated the emissions of GHG related to different alternatives for hydrogen production, distribution and end-use. 

Klif is responsible for compiling and reporting the Norwegian national greenhouse gas emissions. Klif is operating agent for the Norwegian emission trading registry.

Furthermore, Klif is engaged in work related to environmentally friendly technology. The aim is to facilitate increased use and innovation of environmental technologies. One central task in this work is to facilitate the dialog between governmental institutions, private companies and NGOs.

Erik Figenbaum, Klif is member of the Norwegian strategic council for hydrogen.
