Yes, obviously this is old tech and shouldn't be difficult. The point here is that even when people argue that it's the most reliable generation source, you can get these problems.

Forrige torsdag hadde Asbjørn Torvanger og @oysteinsjolie.bsky.social en kronikk i Aftenposten. @angelsen.bsky.social, Ståle Navrud og jeg sendte et svarinnlegg til Aftenposten, men avisen fant ikke plass til det. Så da har vi postet det på LinkedIn i stedet ⬇️

Even the newest coal plant in the US has been taken offline for two years to fix problems. That's 932 GW taken off the grid all at once, for two years.
Newest big U.S. coal-plant offline until 2027
The newest major coal-fired power plant in the U.S. is expected to be offline until March 2027 after a major failure in April.

Today I have updated the global cement CO₂ emissions dataset. This is the second release this year, adding a lot of data updates since the February release, and including new data sources.
Global CO2 emissions from cement production

A little history:
▸Norway's statistics agency (SSB) made their first estimate in 2021: www.ssb.no/natur-og-mil...
▸I started making my estimates in mid-2023.
▸SSB updated their methods in late 2024: www.ssb.no/natur-og-mil...

Transportutslipp påvirkes av korona, elbiler og biodrivstoff
Klimagassutslipp fra transport stod for nesten en tredel av utslippene i Norge i 2020. Koronapandemien, kjøring med elbiler og innblanding av biodrivstoff reduserer utslippet.

Nå at jeg leser den jeg skrev på den siden igjen, er jeg ikke sikker på at det er så tydelig forklart. Si meg om du fortstår. Poenget er forskjellen mellom rapporterte utslipp og faktiske utslipp.
På min side (robbieandrew.github.io/norway/norwa...) ser du at det er en svensk effekt inn i saken som er ganske viktig og interessant: "The third piece of the puzzle..."
Norway's greenhouse gas emissions in 2024

Du kan se nøye på tallene enten på min side for 2024 her: robbieandrew.github.io/norway/norwa... eller fra SSB her: www.ssb.no/statbank/tab...
Interesting. In Norway we have estimates of how far cars of different fuel types travel. And they show a different story. People certainly do drive their EVs here.

I read somewhere that they have business (rental) sales a couple of times a year, while private sales are more spread out. There are also weird spikey effects in both the UK and Ireland, but those are about new models/licence plates.
Enklere sagt: Utslipp var i 2024 >2Mt lavere enn de hadde vært uten elbiler, ladbare hybrider, og biodrivstoff.
Jeg sammenligner med det som hadde vært uten disse tre faktorene. Det er altså kumulativ: ikke >2 Mt ekstra reduksjon i 2024 i forhold til 2023, men heller >2Mt reduksjon sammenlignet med "hvis ingen av disse fakorene hadde skjedd".
Because the emissions numbers also include other factors, not just electrification of the fleet.
Yes. Some countries do actually publish stock (fleet) data as well, which could make the comparison more direct.
But it depends on how you rank. Singapore actually has a higher share of BEVs in 2025 so far (42%) than Iceland (35%). By "BEV share" ranking is based on the last three months.
Here are the top three countries in Europe (and in the world, as far as I have data) for sales of battery-electric cars (sorted by "BEV share"):

And now I have a new page on my website dedicated to cement. 🥳
Cement production and emissions
Collection of data on the production of cement and the emissions associated with its production.

We need good estimates of global emissions. I do a lot of work to improve them.
The Chinese company that was to supply the buses to the Oslo bus company was CRRC, who stated categorically that there was no forced labour in their supply chain. But, in combination with security concerns, the bus company was asked - after having won the bid - to change to a different manufacturer.
Denmark is currently second behind Norway in EV share of new car sales. But their car emissions data look very different: what is probably a 2020 work-from-home drop, and no decline to speak of since then. It will be interesting to track in the coming years.
In 2024, 6% of the total distance travelled by small goods vehicles was in BEVs. But in 2023 (last year of that graph) it was only 4%. It should start to ramp up. So far this year, 41% of newly registarted light trucks were BEV.
I think the problem with the Oslo buses is simply that they only have rear-wheel drive. The Chinese models that were passed over also had drive on the front section of the articulated bus.
IIRC, Oslo decided not to buy Chinese buses, and instead went with European models, which were inferior, particularly for winter traction. In retrospect, they should have just taken more time over things.
