    Study of the effects of dual policy instruments to reduce CO2 emissions in the Norwegian petroleum sector
    description:
    The majority of emissions from petroleum activities on the Norwegian continental shelf are subject to dual use of policy instruments (a carbon tax and the European emission trading system), resulting in high emission costs for the Norwegian petroleum sector. At the moment - the only two realistic solutions to reduce emission costs close to zero - are by replacing existing energy supply with power from shore or by shutting down the installations. Existing installations that are suitable for full or partial operation with power from shore already have implemented or are implementing such a solution. For the remaining installations, power from shore is seen as unrealistic, due to technical limitations, high cost and/or short remaining production period. Therefore, high emission costs resulting from the dual use of policy instruments (CO? tax and EU ETS) may, among other things, lead to fields and installations being shut down earlier than they otherwise would have been. The Ministry wants an independent study of the effects of a CO2-tax on top of EU ETS on future deliveries of oil and gas from the NCS, the net present value of production of oil and gas, production emissions and the net income to the state from the sector. The assignment will commence as soon as possible. The assignment should result in a written public report. The deliverables should be divided into a presentation of preliminary results, a first draft of report and a final report. The assignment is to be delivered within three months of contract signing. The consultant is to participate in meetings with the Ministry as agreed, but at a minimum, a start-up meeting, a status meeting with presentation of preliminary results, and a meeting to present the final report. The value of the procurement is estimated between 1 and 2 million NOK excl. VAT. This estimate is not binding for the Contracting authority. For further information on the scope and content of the procurement, we refer to appendix 1.

    Benchtop X-ray Diffraction (XRD) system
    description:
    Oslo Metropolitan University (OsloMet) currently uses several analytical instruments to support education and research activities. To strengthen its laboratory infrastructure and simplify access to advanced material characterization tools, OsloMet intends to procure a new benchtop X-ray Diffraction (XRD) system. The University plans to enter into a contract with Malvern Panalytical B.V. for the procurement, installation, training and warranty of the XRD system, with an estimated net cost of NOK 738,000. The characteristics that must be covered by the XRD system are described in the annex. We are not aware that other suppliers fulfil these requirements. If there are other suppliers who satisfy these requirements, we would like feedback on this as soon as possible. The contract will not be signed until 10 days at the earliest after publication of this notice. Annex • Excellent resolution and linearity, both below 0.04° • Lifelong positional accuracy provided by Direct Optical Positioning Sensing (DOPS3) • Include silicon standard to verify performance of instrument • High intensity data leading to high reproducibility and low limit of detection • Low power system leading to energy saving and long lifetime of the X-rays tube • Include various optics for data collection at low angle, suitable for hydrated and carbonated cement as well as clays samples. • No need of external water-cooling system or compressed air supply (fully integrated one-block system) • Internal computer, no need of external computer, save space and money • Build in touchscreen and intuitive modern software: reduce training time and maximize utilization by students • External sample loading: no need to access the optical path, extra X-rays safety for users, high-tech expensive components are protected from inexperienced users and dust. • Access to a wide range of sample holders, including the newly patented low-angle sample holder (Patent No.: US 12,405,234 B2) for low angle performance, side-loading sample holder to minimize preferential orientation, various air sensitive holders to minimize carbonation/hydration/dehydration of cement, special holder for oriented aggregates to perform clay identification • Training provided by cement XRD experts • With the 1Der detector: o Suppression of fluorescence thanks to the best energy resolution on the market o Charge sharing suppression enabling higher intensity • Main factory in Europe • Has a local contact support in Norway

How an AI agent should use this page

Ground rule: Navigate with HTML GET links to keep explanations and relationships. Use the page's JSON alternative only when concrete values must be extracted, compared or computed.

How to use the search_doffin lookup

  1. Replace the placeholders in the HTML GET template; remove optional parameters you do not need.
  2. Check types, units, limits and ID formats in the parameter table.
  3. Follow linked results to canonical pages before combining sources.

Misreading to avoid: An empty list means "no results for this lookup". An error message or unavailable source does not mean the data does not exist.

Source-specific next step

Go to the source page for other operations. Use the JSON template only after the HTML result shows that the parameters and source are correct.
