How much CO2 does Oslo emit a year?

How much money will Oslo bring to the project?

The City of Oslo and the companies will bring up to 6 billion NOK (620 million EUR) to the table, said Raymond Johansen. This amount is necessary for the project to be fully funded. The Norwegian state has already given a funding guarantee of 3 billion NOK (310 million EUR).
