Norway, Drammen Drammen Lindum The Drammen biogas plant is located close to the Drammen fjord and collects sewage sludge from municipalities around Drammen, together with some grease and septic waste. Lindum’s main objectives at the Drammen plant were to generate biogas and produce safe biosolids. To achieve these goals, a Cambi thermal hydrolysis system was installed as pre-treatment before anaerobic digestion. Incoming primary sludge is initially dewatered to approximately 25% dry solids, then pumped sequentially into the pulper and heated with steam recycled from the process. It is then pumped into high-pressure reactors, where hydrolysis at high temperature (160˚C) and pressure (5-6 bar) occurs. Due to thermal hydrolysis, the biosolids are pasteurized and can be used on agricultural lands. The biosolids product is highly sought after because it is affordable and can replace artificial fertilizers. The plant produces large amounts of biogas that go through an upgrade system to be used as compressed biogas for public transport in rural areas. The plant was completed in the spring of 2012 and has since been operating every day, 24 hours a day. Lindum Group has operations in large parts of eastern Norway and parts of western and southern Norway.

Urban-Rural Flows Due to Seasonal Tourism and Second Homes in the Nordics
Urban-rural flows due to seasonal tourism and second homes in the Nordics Elin Slätmo, Johannes Lidmo, Louise Ormstrup Vestergård, and Eeva Turunen Moderator: Johanna Feuk Westhoff 20190912 Webinar from Nordregio, Stockholm Agenda of the seminar 1. Present results from the Nordregio study (Elin) 2. Questions or comments to the study 3. Discussion (Elin, Johannes, Louise and all) 2 0 3 / 0 9 / 2 Rationale and focus of the study • Flows of people and the second-home phenomena for regional development is still not fully considered in policy and planning. • One reason is that second homes and seasonal tourism implies linkages between urban and rural areas which complicate strict categories used in statistics – therefore population projections, and public policy tend to ignore the temporary population. • In this study the focus is second homes and seasonal tourism as a spatial planning challenge. • This means what problems public actors in the spatial planning need to handle when including voluntary temporary inhabitants into strategic and land use decisions.

Partial County Development Plans As a Means for Preserving Wild Reindeer Habitats in Norway
Partial county development plans as a means for preserving wild reindeer habitats in Norway Hans Olav Bråtå Eastern Norway Research Institute, Box 223, N-2601 Lillehammer, Norway ([email protected]). Abstract: Norwegian wild reindeer habitats are threatened by human intervention. Wild reindeer habitats are joint re- gion wide common pool resources (CPR). Municipalities may be free-riders to that resource if they prefer investments boosting municipal economy despite negative consequences for wild reindeer as a regional resource. Partial county development plans, following the rules of the Planning and Building Act (PBA), are a means that may combine pres- ervation of habitats and development. In order to analyze such plans, theory on CPR management is applied to spatial development planning in the Rondane and Hardangervidda wild reindeer areas. It is shown that the nested system is in accordance with most of Ostrom’s principles. Still, a joint Planning Board ought to be established at Hardanger- vidda and a partial county plan for the whole wild reindeer area there ought to be established. It is recommended that regular monitoring of interventions and planning is established. Finally, a system or mechanism for low cost conflict resolution is needed; but is not easily included into a system based on official actors at different levels, the planning and building act and public anticipation on equal management. The last point is important for mutual acceptance of restrictions on own activity. Key words: common pool resource (CPR), Hardangervidda, regional planning, Rangifer tarandus tarandus, Rondane, second homes, spatial development planning, tourism, wild reindeer.

Eastern Norway 2030 Eastern Norway County Network Strategy
ostsam.no Eastern Norway 2030 Eastern Norway County Network Strategy Eastern Norway County Network is a political network of county councils consisting of Innlandet, Vestfold og Telemark, Viken, and the City of Oslo (hereinafter referred to as the counties). The counties aim is to jointly develop a well-integrated, united, and smart region that meets the sustainable development goals. To achieve this they will cooperate, among other things, on three visions for Eastern Norway: • A green region will be developed with emphasis on environmentally friendly solutions for the future. The region will have a circular economy and utilise its resources in a sustainable manner. The communities of Eastern Norway will be connected by green infrastructure. • An inclusive region will be characterised by social sustainability and equal opportunities for everyone across the region. The diversity of Eastern Norway will be valued and utilised in community development. Everyone will have the opportunity to acquire the relevant skills required to participate in the labour market. • A competitive region will develop and utilise its regional advantages. Eastern Norway will be at the forefront of value creation through the green transition. Digitalisation and seamless transport solutions will strengthen the region’s position in Europe. The policy areas transport and business development and skills are the main priorities for the county network. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Paris Agreement will form the basis for the counties’ activities in the coming decade, while the European Green Deal will serve as the framework for the work on the green transition in Europe (incl. Norway)1. The SDGs will therefore also be a pillar for the cooperation between the counties in Eastern Norway towards 2030.

Rock Procurement in the Early Neolithic in Southern Norway Astrid
ROCK PROCUREMENT IN THE EARLY NEOLITHIC IN SOUTHERN NORWAY Significance by Association with People and Places? Astrid J. Nyland Rocks and places of rock procurement can be sig- nificant beyond pragmatic reasons. In the Early Ne- olithic in southern Norway, specific rock types and quarries appear to have been deeply entangled in socio-political strategies that either bound people together or set people apart. Charted variations in the character of lithic procurement and distribu- tion indicate two parallel but diverging processes of “Neolithization” in the western and eastern region respectively. In the west, rhyolite from a quarry atop Mt. Siggjo was especially significant, demonstrated by the intense quarrying and wide distribution of rhyolite along the west coast. Indeed, in the west, certain quarries appear to have been regarded as nodal points, anchoring people’s sense of identity and belonging. In the east, imported flint gained a similar role because of its association with farm- ing and Funnel Beaker–related societies in south- ern Scandinavia. That is, rock was significant not only due to its physical qualities, but by its associa- tion with a specific place, social or cultural group. Key words: Lithic procurement practices, rhyolite, flint, Early Neolithic, southern Norway University of Stavanger Museum of Archaeology 4036 Stavanger, Norway [email protected] CURRENT SWEDISH ARCHAEOLOGY, VOL 24, 2016 | https://doi.org/10.37718/CSA.2016.09 107 Astrid J. Nyland INTRODUCTION It has been argued that in the Early Neolithic, from about 4000 BC, quarrying became tightly organized, regulated, and restricted (Bergsvik 2002:14; 2006:165f). However, whereas some quarry sites may reflect in- creased regulation and control, other rock procurement sites imply other types of engagement and practices too.

Mountain Permafrost in the Sølen Massif, Central-Eastern Norway – First Results
Permafrost, Phillips, Springman & Arenson (eds) © 2003 Swets & Zeitlinger, Lisse, ISBN 90 5809 582 7 Mountain permafrost in the Sølen massif, Central-Eastern Norway – first results E.S.F. Heggem, H. Juliussen & B. Etzelmüller Department of Physical Geography, University of Oslo, Oslo, Norway ABSTRACT: Regional permafrost distribution modeling indicates that the eastern part of southern Norway represents the regional lower permafrost limit of southern Scandinavia. In order to validate this regional pattern, a permafrost mapping study was started in 2001 in the Sølen-Femunden area (62°N, 12°E) covering ground sur- face temperature measurement using miniature temperature loggers and BTS (bottom temperature of winter snow cover) measurements. This paper introduces the Sølen mountain area and summarises the first results and pre- liminary interpretations from the BTS survey. The measurements indicate a lower limit of mountain permafrost of about 1050 m a.s.l. Furthermore, there appears to be an aspect dependency, reflecting the more continental macro- climate of the area. The study so far supports the modelled regional pattern in the study area. 1 INTRODUCTION detailed analyses of the permafrost distribution in the region including all available measurements will be There have been several studies of alpine permafrost given in a later paper by the same authors. mapping in southern Norway during recent years, partly within the framework of the European PACE project (Harris et al., 2001).
