In 1994 the National Board for Industrial and Technical Development, NUTEK*, started a programme titled EKO-Energi. The programme's objective was long-term energy efficiency within larger energy intensive industrial companies. EKO-Energi will contribute to a reduction of carbon dioxide emissions to 1990 levels. The aim is also to allow companies to cut energy costs and to reduce the demand on power generation as well as to limit the use of fossil fuels. The programme runs until year 2001 and then it will be reviewed.
