A survey of the requirements for emission-free building and construction sites

The City of Oslo’s Climate Agency has engaged SINTEF to carry out a survey of emission-free building and construction sites for Oslo Municipality’s projects. The principal themes are electricity supply, emission-free construction machinery and vehicles, and charging logistics, studying associated experiences and barriers.

This report assesses building site experience from relevant projects and includes detailed studies of machine fleets, energy consumption and energy supply. The results indicate that the development towards emission-free building and construction sites is progressing rapidly, although some barriers and challenges remain.

All of the municipality’s building and construction sites shall be emission-free by 2025.
