Description
The Norwegian Ministry of Petroleum and Energy is considering a compulsory, green certificate market for renewable energy. This market will stimulate the development of renewable energy sources. In some ways, green certificates is subsidising and instigating the development of energy sources that would otherwise be unprofitable. A green certificate proves that a certain quantity of energy, which is usually electricity, has been produced, and that it is based on renewable energy sources. In the EU there are two driving forces behind the concentration on green energy: the liberalization of the European energy market, and EU's quantitative emission restrictions. However, there is a difference of opinion about the usefulness of a green certificate market if the goal is to increase the production of renewable energy
