I had to look into Norwegian public inquiries and about both current and future EU regulations on this issue. Some of the topics I looked into were the European emission market, the coming carbon border tax, the demand for Carbon capture and storage projects, how the industry is trying to get rid of coal in the industrial processes, and much, much more.
