Fresh report points to hydrogen as a future industry in Norway
The fresh McKinsey report «Norge i morgen” presents an optimistic view of Norway in 2030 if “our potential is utilized to the fullest”.
The consultancy agency points to 10 industries capable of compensating for the future decline in oil and gas revenues. These 10 industries can potentially lead to 310 billion NOK in increased economic growth (BNP) and 210.000 jobs in Norway.
According to McKinsey, Norway could be a leading nation in the production and export of hydrogen and hydrogen technology. However, it all boils down to Norway’s ambition and the willingness to set clear targets and most importantly, act on them. In Frithjof Norman Lund, CEO of McKinsey Norway, own words: we need to step on the gas!
