Developing a Vision

In the fall of 2006 Gunnar Sand (the former director of UNIS) and Alvar Braathen, (professor in geology at UNIS), publish an article in Svalbard-posten outlining the vision of a CO2 free Svalbard. Svalbard has coal mines, coal fuelled power plants and geological structures that could be suited for storing CO2. The authors added Svalbard’s ambition of being one of the best preserved wilderness areas in the world and its international attention. Longyearbyen, a community of 2000 people with a closed energy system, was chosen as the pilot.

In the fall of 2006 the vision was presented to the minister of justice, Knut Storberget, who immediately asked for a report verifying that the vision was realistic. The report was written by UNIS in cooperation with NTNU and SINTEF and was handed over to Storberget in February 2007. He was pleased with the positive conclusions.
Media

Throughout 2006-2014 the project experienced the following public exposure:

  • 17 reports on Norwegian television in Dagsrevyen (14), Schrødingers katt (2), Newton (1) and Ut i naturen (1).
  • From 1 to 4 pages displays in the newspapers such as Aftenposten, Dagbladet, VG, Dagens Næringsliv, Adresseavisen, Bergens Tidende and Nordlys.
  • A large number of smaller news articles come in addition. NTB based articles have surfaced in 80 local Norwegian newspapers.
  • Reports in the magazines Teknisk Ukeblad and Geo (13)
  • Reports by the international TV companies BBC, National Geographic, AFP (France) and Al Jazeera in addition to a large number of other Scandinavian, European and Asian television companies.
  • Reports by a large number of international newspapers and magazines.
