Transportation

Procurement of electric scooters, bicycles, and electric bicycles.

Documentation:

• Investment decision or other documentation on the project. 

Possible projects include constructing new footpaths and cycle paths, lighting for footpaths/cycle paths, and bike parking facilities/stations.

Documentation:

• Investment decision or other documentation on the project
  

Procurement of light or heavy vehicles, including buses that run on electricity, biogas or green hydrogen (produced using renewable energy). Plug-in hybrids do not qualify for green loans. For vehicles that use biogas, there must be a contractual agreement that fossil fuels will not be used.

Documentation:

• Type of vehicle
• Estimtated annual mileage
• If biogas: A contract to confirm that fossil fuels will not be used

Procurement of new carriage and other equipment for rail-based public transport.

The fleet must run on either electricity, green hydrogen (produced using renewable energy) or biogas. For vehicles that use biogas, there must be a contractual agreement that fossil fuels will not be used.

Documentation:

• Investment decision or other documentation on the project. 

Procurement of ferries, high-speed craft and other types of maritime transport vessel that run on electricity, biogas, green hydrogen/ammonia (produced using renewable energy) as fuel. For vessels that use biogas, there must be a contractual agreement that fossil fuels will not be used. A fossil-fuel back-up solution is permitted. Hybrid solutions will be considered, but in normal operations propulsion must be zeroemissions for at least 50% of operating hours.

Documentation:

• Type of vessel
• If biogas: A contract to confirm that fossil fuels will not be used

The procurement of heavy machinery that only uses electricity, biogas or green hydrogen (produced using renewable energy). If biogas is used, there must be a contractual agreement that fossil fuels will not be used.

Documentation:

• Type of heavy machinery
• If biogas: A contract to confirm that fossil fuels will not be used

Using the “Reduction in emissions from construction machinery, vehicles and equipment” criterion when procuring machinery, level “Advanced”. The criterion is currently found under “Emissions from the construction site” in DFØ’s (The Norwegian Agency for Public and Financial Management, previously DIFI) Criteria Wizard for Sustainable Public Procurement.

Documentation:

• Competitive tender documents

Installing new or upgrading existing charging points for electric cars. Includes both high-speed chargers and normal chargers. High-speed chargers should meet the minimum requirements in the ‘Technical requirements’ section of Enovas program citeria for support for charging infrastructure for electric cars.

Documentation:

• Investment decision or other documentation on the project
• Compliance with minimum requirements from Enova

Construction of green hydrogen (produced using renewable energy) or biogas filling stations that are open to the public. The filling station should meet the minimum requirements in the ‘Technical requirements’ section of Enova's program criteria for investment in hydrogen infrastructure.

Documentation:

• Investment decision or other documentation of the project
• Compliance with minimum requirements from Enova

Equipment for operating public transport services, such as ticketing systems, realtime display systems and information equipment as well as tram depots.

The vehicle(s) must run on either electricity, green hydrogen (produced using renewable energy) or biogas. For vehicles that use biogas, there must be a contractual agreement that fossil fuels will not be used.

Documentation:

• Investment decision or other documentation of the project
• Type of vehicle and fuel composition

Trackway, electrical systems and other infrastructure for public transport services.

The vehicle(s) must run on either electricity, green hydrogen (produced using renewable energy) or biogas. For vehicles that use biogas, there must be a contractual agreement that fossil fuels will not be used.

Documentation:

• Investment decision or other documentation of the project
• Type of vehicle and fuel composition

Installation of shore-side power connections/charging points on ferries, ships etc.

Documentation:

• Estimtated amount of shore-side power supplied annually (kWh/year)

Zero-emission port infrastructure that only uses electricity or green hydrogen (produced using renewable energy), e.g. cranes.

Documentation:

• Investment decision or other documentation of the project that describes the technology

Infrastructure associated with the use of zero-emission heavy machinery, e.g. charging points and energy stations.
