DNV recognises that companies now consider the issue of climate change from at least four directions:
• As organisations that view climate change as a serious societal problem and want to act as a responsible corporation seen to be doing what it reasonably can to combat climate change.
• As organisations that recognize climate change as a business issue that will materially change the economics of their business.
• As organisations responding to regulatory risk, either direct or indirect.
• As organisations responding to owner and stakeholder pressures.
DNV is uniquely positioned to help companies and organisations understand and manage these risks and pressures through our climate change expertise, technological know how and independence.
Early involved with the regulatory response to climate change, we have accompanied the rise of the international carbon markets. Trust, transparency and integrity are critical to these markets and DNV is committed to act further as a leading trusted third party in the field.
DNV’s customers in industry and carbon markets recognise that the business and risks associated to climate change are international. We have a strong global presence in all key markets, providing local and global capabilities to deal with risk, transparency and trust issues where they occur.
Creating supply chain carbon harmony
The reduction of CO2 and other greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions is a global issue. The Kyoto agreement, EU and national regulations have been implemented in order to reduce the level of CO2.
Carbon capture and storage: “Speed up, please”
“The need to deal with the climate change threat quickly does not allow us the luxury of waiting until all the aspects have been looked at and agreed upon. It’s time to put global warming in the basement,” says Elisabeth Tørstad, DNV’s Cleaner Energy director.
Backing capture and storage technology
A new survey of over 500 key energy decision makers from across Europe has found a strong appetite for the development of CO2 capture and storage technologies in Europe as a way of reducing emissions of carbon dioxide.

The considerable shortage of competence and competent people has become one of the major challenges for the carbon market and its players. A strategic response to the competence challenge is necessary to prevent the industry from undermining itself and lose credibility with regulators and investors. It is also vital in order to be able to capitalize on growth opportunities.
