About ZERO

Basic strategy

A modern world where carbon emissions cause no threat to nature and environment.

ZERO will contribute to limiting the threat posed by climate change by promoting carbon-free energy solutions. In our view, emission-free alternatives exist for all energy use, and ZERO works continuously for their realisation.

We therefore:

• urge companies to choose carbon-free energy solutions and cooperate to put them into use
• seek contact with policy makers to favour such solutions
• collect and distribute information to contribute to their realisation.

In order to make emission-free solutions prevail, ZERO pursues a constructive role in the fight against climate change: Instead of negative campaigning, we prefer to advocate the solutions which we support.

ZERO aims to possess first class knowledge of carbon-free energy technology. We co-work with companies and industrial researchers to secure the know-how necessary to maintain that position.

ZERO views environmental problems from a broad perspective. Our technological and political knowledge enables us to identify areas where renewable energy solutions should be preferred to polluting ones, thereby acting as meddlers between companies, policy makers and industrial researchers.    

ZERO seeks influence wherever decisions affecting climate change are made. We seek contact with policy makers, whilst protecting our integrity to ensure that our advice  is reliable and our information is to be trusted.

ZERO also acts as guardian and watchdog when carbon-free energy solutions are abandoned, or framework for use of such technology is weakened.

Finally, in addition to lobbying towards industry and policy makers, ZERO informs the general public of renewable and carbon free energy solutions. We aim for our website www.zero.no to be a preferred source for news and information on the subject.

Our position

ZERO is a non-profit foundation.

ZERO is an environmental organisation. We are not consultants, the battle against climate change being our only mission. However, we participate in partnerships financed by third parties.

ZERO cooperates with companies who are polluters, in order to urge them to choose non-emission solutions, and with companies who make such solutions, in order to widen their use.

ZERO is the only Norwegian environmental organisation solely committed to fighting climate change. We never accept the use of fossil fuels without carbon dioxide burial.

As environmentalists, we demand that Norway cut carbon emissions by a minimum of 90 per cent. Still, ZERO’s role is to be constructive and pragmatic, cooperating even with big polluters, if it can help obtain our goals.

We do not believe in moralization. Rather than urging people to reduce their standard of living, ZERO advocates solutions that enable people to maintain their current way of life.

ZERO is not a research institute. We work with industrial researchers to help develop and promote new carbon-free technology.

In addition to general sponsors, ZERO’s sources of income include financial support to specific projects, as well as endowments. Contributions come from companies, individuals and Norwegian authorities.

ZERO is a foundation with no supporting members.

Neither are we paid consultants for companies or authorities.

ZERO has full intellectual property rights to its work. Sponsors to our reports and publications are highlighted.
