Transport — including road, rail, aviation, and maritime — accounted for 25% of Norwegian final energy demand in 2021, almost entirely in the form of oil as fuel (86%). Overall energy demand was 235 petajoules (PJ) in 2021.
The structure of the industrial sector is another factor that affects the final energy use . Manufacturing industries, for example, use more energy than service industries; thus, changes in industrial structure will impact the overall energy consumption in Norway.
Norway’s share of electricity in final energy demand will reach 58% in 2050, far higher than any of the regions.
Total energy demand in the residential sector in Norway in 2015 was 46.28 TWh; in 2020, a slight decrease of 0.77 TWh was observed. Energy consumption in the residential sector consists of space heating (103.5 PJ), electrical appliances (34.6 PJ), and some small cooling demand (0.2 PJ).
In 2050, Norwegian gas exports will be 48 billion m3/yr, which is a decline from historical levels. Norway supplies close to 25% of Europe's gas demand (NPD, 2022). In parallel with the declining gas demand in Europe towards mid-century, Norway’s gas exports (including NGLs) will start to decline within this decade.
The Energy Transition Norway report highlights the significance of energy systems resilience, especially given the EU’s historic reliance on Russian oil and gas, and the recent energy price spirals.
