Emisjonens

Emisjonens is the definite form of the Norwegian noun emisjon, used in two main senses: finance and, less commonly, environmental contexts. In finance, emisjon refers to the issuance of new securities by a company to raise capital. An emisjon can take the form of a rights issue, a public offering, or a private placement. The phrase emisjonens vilkår denotes the terms of the issue, including price, subscription rights, and allocation. Emisjonens størrelse specifies how many shares or bonds are issued and the resulting capital inflow. Regulatory requirements typically include board approval and registration with the relevant authorities, in line with securities law and corporate governance rules.

In environmental or scientific contexts, emisjon can mean the release of substances into the environment, akin to the English term emission. However, in many contexts Norwegian uses utslipp to describe pollution, so emisjon’s environmental sense may appear more in technical or cross-language texts. When used in this sense, emisjonens kilde refers to the source of the emission, emisjonens mengde to the amount released, and emisjonens påvirkning to the climatic or ecological impact.

Etymology traces emisjon to Latin emissio, via Old French and other influences, and it has developed specialized senses in Norwegian for financial issuance and, to a lesser extent, environmental discussion. The possessive form emisjonens links to the broader term emisjon in phrases describing characteristics, scope, or impact.
