Name : Climate and environmental requirements in the requirement specifications.
Description : The contracting authority has set requirements for electrical progress that with "Norwegian" electricity must be defined as zero emission. The boat shall only be able to operate electrically for a normal school day. Diesel auxiliary power is only installed as security and for longer transit, for example if the boat is serviced at shipyards. Norwegian electricity based on hydropower is defined as zero emissions. 200 operational days have been budgeted per annum with 6 hours daily (2 hours transit, four hours in the field), total 1,200 hours per annum. At the same time, it was budgeted with approx. 20 hours diesel operation in transit, equivalent to only approx. 2% of the total running time. The total emission of CO2 including 20 hours diesel operation is approx. 2 tons. Based on the same operational pattern, the total emissions for equivalent diesel vessels will be approx. 70 tons. The Scaling requirement for electric vessels will therefore result in a reduction of CO2 emissions of 97%. Based on this, the contracting authority has chosen not to weight climate by 30%, but retained 10% weighting in order to obtain good solutions on other environmental qualities.
