Eksperience from instrument exclusively targeting ET 1988-2004 (1,2 bill. NOK):: 

Eksperience from instrument exclusively targeting ET 1988-2004 (1,2 bill. NOK): Effects for institutes, researchers ao.: Increased level of knowledge Integration in higher education Strengthen contact with industry International competitiveness Solid basis for future

Slide8: 

Industrial effects: No 'locomotives' A few successes Water/waste treatment, surveillance systems.. Many disappointed stakeholders Low demand Reduced public ambitions Nitrogen removing, polluted soil/sediments Experience from instrument exclusively targeting ET 1988-2004 (1,2 bill. NOK):

Barrieres:: 

Barrieres: Lack of demand Functionality Risks Are the costumers environmentally conscious? Environmental regulation can be barriers Only national In conflict with other regulations or goals

Driving forces: : 

Companies invest in Randamp;D to maintain and strengthen competitiveness For environmental technologies, regulations are more significant drivers than traditional market mechanisms But regulations must be well adapted to business needs Timing: development of new technologies takes time Costs National and international regulations Dialogue between government and industry/business Driving forces:

Slide11: 

Recommendations: Improve our (SFTs) technology expertise, and get involved in policy development outside our immediate area of responsibility Integrate the development of environmental technologies in policy development for each governmental sector New economic incentives should be integrated in existing financial instruments through increased budgets and focus on users’ needs Better co-ordination of financial and regulatory instruments among governmental agencies, e.g. 'saksbehandlerutvalget' Aim for 'fine tuning' of instruments – not one-sided focus on supply or demand sides instruments Learn from experiences with oil/fish export – how to get into export markets - marketing
