Of the total expenditures on environmental protection in 2012, current expenditure was NOK 4.5 billion. Environmental investments reached NOK 2.5 billion. In 2011, the amounts were NOK 5.1 and 3.6 billion respectively.

Lower expenditures on end-of-pipe equipment for pollution prevention are the main reason for the reduced investments. This environmental expenditure category includes clean-up activities after the closure of industrial sites, as well as the dismantling of offshore installations. The reduction in current expenditures is primarily related to waste water and solid waste management.
