We are also contributing to industrial growth in Norway, important industrial growth at a time when it is most needed. In the past twelve months, we have continued to see very encouraging developments in the market for liquid biogas fuel. Several leading manufacturers of heavy trucks are providing their new long-range solutions for liquid biogas – equipment and renewable solutions that the leading logistics companies want.

  • Kartlegging Av Partienes Toppkandidaters Erfaring Fra Næringslivet Stortingsvalget 2021
    Kartlegging av partienes toppkandidaters erfaring fra næringslivet Stortingsvalget 2021 I det videre følger en kartlegging av hvilken erfaring fra næringslivet toppkandidatene fra dagens stortingspartier i hver valgkrets har. Det vil si at i hver valgkrets, har alle de ni stortingspartiene fått oppført minst én kandidat. I tillegg er det kartlagt også for øvrige kandidater som har en relativt stor sjanse for å bli innvalgt på Stortinget, basert på NRKs «supermåling» fra juni 2021. I noen valgkretser er det derfor mange «toppkandidater». Dette skyldes at det er stor usikkerhet knyttet til hvilke partier som vinner de siste distriktsmandatene, og ikke minst utjevningsmandatene. Følgende to spørsmål har vært utgangspunktet for kartleggingen: 1. Har kandidaten drevet egen bedrift? 2. Har kandidaten vært ansatt daglig leder i en bedrift? Videre er kartleggingen basert på følgende kilder: • Biografier på Stortingets nettside. • Offentlig tilgjengelig informasjon på nettsider som Facebook, LinkedIn, Proff.no, Purehelp.no og partienes egne hjemmesider. • Medieoppslag som sier noe om kandidatenes yrkesbakgrunn. Kartleggingen har derfor flere mulige feilkilder. For eksempel kan informasjonen som er offentlig tilgjengelig, være utdatert eller mangelfull. For å begrense sjansen for feil, har kildene blitt kryssjekket. SMB Norge tar derfor forbehold om dette ved offentliggjøring av kartleggingen, eller ved bruk som referanse.

  • From Waste to Value
    4 New path development for forest- based value creation in Norway Antje Klitkou, Marco Capasso, Teis Hansen and Julia Szulecka 4.1 Introduction This chapter focuses on path development in the forest-based industries of Norway, based on the valorisation of side- streams and residues. Forest- based value creation is one of the main avenues for the emerging bioeconomy in Norway and the neighbouring Nordic countries Sweden and Finland. Historically, the forestry sector has been an important part of the Norwegian economy, both in terms of GDP and employment. The sector contributed 10.4% of Norwegian GDP in 1845 (Grytten, 2004, p. 254). After the discovery of oil and natural gas on the Norwegian shelf, the importance of the forestry sector has diminished. And over the last decade this negative trend has multiplied. For decades, the forestry- based industry in Norway has specialised in pulp and paper production, especially newsprint paper. Therefore, huge volumes of forest resources, including residues and side- streams, have been poured into this industry. However, due to changing global market conditions – the massive deployment of the Internet reducing demand for newspapers – and the rise of competitors in other parts of the world, European pulp and paper production has declined significantly in the last decade (Karltorp & Sandén, 2012). This development has had a tremendous impact on the market possib- ilities of forestry residues, since they can now be processed for pulp and paper to a much lesser degree. Nevertheless, other valorisation pathways exist besides pulp and paper production, such as the wooden construction industry, wooden furniture manufacturing, bioenergy – including solid bioenergy and liquid biofuels – and the production of lignocellulosic chemicals and mater- ials.

Grunneierlaget mener ingen av de to forslagene fra rådmannen bør gis tilslutning. Vår høringsuttalelse ligger vedlagt. Skogn, 30.09.18 Aksel Stokke Høringsuttalelse fra Grunneierlaget for ny E6 Ronglan-Rinnan Sept. 2018 2 Forslag til kommunedelplan Statens Vegvesens planforslag for Ny E6 Åsen nord – Mære gjennom Levanger Kommune. Høringsuttale fra Grunneierlaget for ny E6 Ronglan-Rinnan i Levanger. 1. Innledning, konklusjon. Den foreliggende planen for ny E6 Åsen nord - Mære er uten sidestykke et av de mest omfattende og største inngrep i landskapet i Levanger på mange årtier. Beslutningen om hvor ny E6 skal gå, vil ha svært stor betydning for de aller fleste personer og virksomheter i regionen i et svært langt perspektiv. Planen for ny E6 Åsen nord - Mære må sendes i retur til Statens vegvesen på grunnlag av følgende momenter: • Planen legger opp til alt for få kryss. • Planen er mangelfull mht. lokaltrafikk og utfordringene i Levanger sentrum • Planen er svært komplisert og mangler en kortfattet og lettfattelig faktapresentasjon. • Planen er mangelfull mht. kostnadsberegning, finansiering, bompenger og vurdering av kost/nytteeffekt. • Planen er for ambisiøs i forhold til trafikkgrunnlag. • Planen er preget av hastverksarbeid, usikkerhet rundt fjellkvalitet og flere antakelser som det kan stilles spørsmålstegn ved, f. eks virkningen av nedlegging av Heirkrysset.
