Environment
The county is among the world’s leading regions in promoting and practicing sustainable mobility. Norway as a whole has given strong incentives to stimulate the sales of zero emission vehicles – both battery and fuel cell electric - however, so far Norway lacks an incentive scheme for hydrogen refueling station (HRS) deployment and operation.
In a regional hydrogen strategy for Oslo and Akershus the two counties will facilitate the use of hydrogen for transport, focusing primarily on developing an infrastructure and laying the foundation for a market driven introduction of hydrogen.
