Recommendations for Enhanced Nordic Cooperation

Energy Security and Resilience Strategy
  • Develop a Nordic energy resilience framework to manage risks from geopolitical tensions, climate change impacts, and supply chain disruptions.
  • Coordinate strategic energy reserves and emergency response plans to strengthen energy security across the region.
Coordinated Nordic Grid Development
  • Develop a coordinated Nordic grid plan, leveraging offshore wind synergies.
  • Conduct a common Nordic modelling exercise to assess synergies and ensure efficient resource allocation.
Nordic CCS Strategy
  • Formulate a Nordic carbon capture and storage (CCS) strategy to capitalise on shared infrastructure for carbon transport and storage.
  • Enhance collaboration to realise economies of scale and improve overall cost-effectiveness in CCS.
Nordic Hydrogen Infrastructure Roadmap
  • Create a joint roadmap for electricity and for clean hydrogen infrastructure, addressing production, transport, and storage needs across the Nordics.
  • Focus on harmonising standards to support an integrated hydrogen economy and cross-border trade.
EU Regulation Alignment
  • Establish a coordinated Nordic position on relevant EU regulations to support seamless implementation.
  • Work together to align Nordic interests and enhance influence in EU regulatory processes.
Pool resources for innovation
  • Secure common funding for pilot projects that demonstrate emerging technologies with the potential to benefit all Nordic countries.
  • Focus on identifying and scaling the most promising green technologies for the Nordic region, such as advanced PtX solutions and innovative offshore wind technologies like floating offshore.
