Research and development in the sector of petroleum and energy is a prioritized area for the government. The government's vision is that Norway will become a world leader in the development of sustainable energy.
This will be achieved through an effective and sustainable exploitation of the Norwegian energy and petroleum resources and through increased competitive edge in the oil and energy industry. The commitment to energy and petroleum research through the budget of the Ministry of Petroleum and Energy are mainly channeled to programs related to energy and petroleum led by The Research Council of Norway.
