"We have secured half of all the state asphalt contracts in Norway ahead of the coming season, 19 overall, for a total value of about SEK 1 billion. This shows clearly that we are a key player in the Nordic market and that we have a competitive offering," says Grete Aspelund, Head of NCC Industry.

NCC has been working systematically and purposefully for many years to identify production solutions that will help to reduce CO₂ emissions. Initiatives have included the use of wood pellets as an energy source in asphalt plants, biogenic binding agents and significant use of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP).

All contracts signed to date this year include environmental weighting criteria of 30 percent, which is a legal requirement in Norway, and the contracts stipulate the provision of environmental product declarations (EPDs).

The contracts refer to the following areas:

• SVV Øvre Buskerud 
• SVV Nedre Buskerud 
• SVV Møre og Romsdal Riksveger 
• SVV Trøndelag Nord-Riksveger 
• SVV Trøndelag Sør-Riksveger 
• Agder FK Agder Øst 
• Agder FK Agder midt
• Akershus FK Forsterkning og asfaltering

• Telemark FK Telemark Fylkeskommune
• Møre og Romsdal FK Fylkesveger Sunnmøre
• Rogaland FK Nord-Rogaland
• Vestland FK Voss, Hardanger og Sunnhordland

All contracts will commence in the spring and conclude in the autumn.

The total order value of about SEK 750 million will be registered in the NCC Industry business area in the second quarter of 2025.
