NORM Management at the Nexus of Energy, Resources, and Sustainability

By situating NORM within the green economy, the forum will reframe challenges as opportunities, identify cross-sector synergies, and co‑develop practical pathways for safe, sustainable, and economically meaningful NORM management.

Scale of the Challenge and Opportunity

Global environmental remediation market is projected to reach $142.17 billion in 2025, growing at 14.62% to $485.47 billion by 2034.

Radioactive site remediation alone is estimated at $14.22 billion in 2025, including NORM-related legacy mining and oil and gas operations.

Offshore decommissioning costs exceed $300 billion globally, with 5–15% attributed to NORM management—amounting to $5–45 million per project.

Advancing Global NORM Management Together

As countries accelerate investments in renewable energy, critical minerals, low‑carbon technologies, and sustainable infrastructure, the generation and management of Naturally Occurring Radioactive Material (NORM) residues is becoming an increasingly visible challenge.

A dedicated conference on NORM Management in the Context of the Green Economy provides a timely strategic platform to bring together technical experts, regulators, industry practitioners, investors, economists, and sustainability leaders to explore how NORM management can evolve from a compliance‑driven obligation into a contributor to resource efficiency, value retention, and environmental stewardship.

Integrating NORM into broader sustainability strategies strengthens social license, ensures regulatory alignment, and supports long-term resilience. The conference will help participants reframe challenges as opportunities, identify cross-sector synergies, and co‑develop practical pathways for safe, sustainable, and economically meaningful NORM management. The event will also support capacity building, foster international cooperation, and knowledge transfer while contributing to coherent global narrative on NORM in sustainability transitions.
