18 Jun 2026 Siliziumkarbid-Hersteller (anonymisiert)Silicon carbide producer: NOK 18m over unrepresentative emission measurements NorwayEmissions and permits €1.62m

Økokrim (Norwegian National Authority for Investigation and Prosecution of Economic and Environmental Crime) issued an industrial company producing silicon carbide with a penalty notice of NOK 18,000,000 for breaches of the Pollution Control Act (forurensningsloven) and for giving incorrect information to Miljødirektoratet (Norwegian Environment Agency). In Økokrim's view, the air emission measurements in 2021 were not representative because, among other things, production was lower during the measurement campaigns; this created a risk that considerably more of the carcinogenic benzo[a]pyrene was emitted than permitted. The company has accepted the penalty notice.

What organisations can take from it

Self-monitoring of emissions must reflect normal operations – anyone who embellishes measurements by throttling production risks heavy corporate penalties.
