#43 Transforming Norway - How solve the Norwegian Energy transition dilemmas (with Lars-Henrik Michelsen, Director - Norwegian Climate Foundation)
Lars-Henrik Paarup Michelsen is the Director of The Norwegian Climate Foundation - a think tank that specializes in climate issues, publishes energy-related news online, and organizes events on climate issues. In this podcast episode, we discuss the challenges and opportunities facing Norway's energy industry. We explore the dilemma of moving away from a profitable oil and gas business model while still meeting short-term demand from Europe. The conversation raises questions about Norway's long-term strategy and the potential consequences of continuing to invest in oil and gas rather than transitioning to renewable energy solutions. Also, check out The Norwegian Climate Foundation's podcast, "Energi og Klima" --- 21 March, come meet us at our annual NTNU Energy Transition Conference in Trondheim, Norway.
