Oslo opts for methanisation of urban waste
The capital of Norway is putting in place a biomethanisation project. Although Norway has major energy resources, in particular gas, Oslo has made this choice in response to the problem of management of urban waste and that of reducing CO2 emissions in public transport.
At the Friends of Biogasmax day (Berne, 30.01.08), Helge Heier, director of the Energy Department of the City of Oslo, came to talk to us about the progress of the project. With political support, the funds have already been obtained to develop initiatives between 2007 and 2010. The setting up of a tri-optic waste system (by identifying the colour of bags), building of a biomethanisation plant and putting into service a bus fuelled by gas should all be completed by December 2010.
Around twenty representatives of the city of Oslo (elected representatives and technical experts) will come to visit the installations in Lille on the 20th May 2008.
