If all coastal shipping converted to LNG, the oil and energy ministry says, Norway would be 70% of the way to achieving its NO x emissions reduction target. Trials of an LNG-powered ferry are already being carried out using LNG produced by Statoil's plant at Tjeldbergodden, where gas from the Heidrun Field is landed. Statoil has two main objectives for the LNG-powered supply vessel project, according to Knut Barland, the company's Vice President for the Environment: Although Norway has large gas reserves, internal consumption is very low, and Statoil is one of many parties, including the government, which would like to see new outlets opened. The company is involved in controversial plans to build two gas-fired power plants. One hurdle to be overcome is a very strict requirement from the Norwegian Pollution Control Authority (SFT) that the NO x content of the flue gas should not exceed 5 ppm. According to Barland, the best that can be achieved using available technology is 25 ppm.
