"While our nordic neighbours and the Worlds large economies systematically develope strategies to reduce their demand for oil, coal and gas - or 'black carbons' - investments in the Norwegian oil sector are bigger than ever followed by an increased oil dependancy in the general Norwegian public."
This is how the publisher Jon Bingen introduce the book Fra Sorte til Grønne Karboner (From Black to Green Carbons). The book presents sustainable alternatives to crude oil which can not only improve Norway's climate profile but also create growth and jobs in other sectors - as group called bioeconomy.
Under the headline Nordic countries should go for advanced bioeconomy - before it is too late Anne Grete Holmsgaard and Julie Søgaard review the Danish experiences and potentials for both Norway and Denmark within advanced bioeconomy.
