1. 2021 the go-ahead has been given to companies to start making their machinery more sustainable and the Ministry is including more stringent targets in project assignments.

2. Explore the course by providing knowledge and development programs to the industry so that new knowledge, frameworks and practices can be created. 

3. Encourage the leading group so that they can be the first buyers of zero-emission construction equipment and a scaling-up strategy will be developed from there. 

4. Reward frontrunners in contracts based on emmission-free work and allow them to take the pack and gradually tighten contract requirements more and more. 

5. Target 2030 all government projects are climate neutral and circularly tendered and contribute noticeably to a sustainable living environment

The steps reflect the ambition of the government in part to achieve the climate agreement. Their three pillars are 100% CO2 reduction, high-quality reuse of materials and halving the use of primary raw materials.
