TIME writes that the work of Bellona has helped to raise environmental awareness and that Bellona is a solution-oriented organization. "Hauge's powerfully pragmatic approach is to collaborate with heavy industry, not battle it." Bellona's and Hauge's CO2 work is also mentioned specifically:

"This emphasis on finding solutions, rather than clinging to ideology, also informs his stance on carbon capture and storage, whereby CO2 from energy production is deposited deep underground. Some green groups scoff at this practice, but Hauge sees it as crucial to reducing emissions."

In addition to Al Gore, Frederic Hauge is in the company of James Hansen, Tim Flannery, Wangari Maathai, David Attenborough and James Lovelock. "The only thing I'm more afraid of than environmental threats is apathy", says Hauge.
