| composting (The natural biological decomposition of organic material in the presence of air to form a humus-like material. Controlled methods of composting include mechanical mixing and aerating, ventilating the materials by dropping them through a vertical series of aerated chambers, or placing the compost in piles out in the open air and mixing it or turning it periodically) | kompostering | |
| composting by producer (No definition needed) | egenkompostering | |
| compression (Reduction in the volume of a substance due to pressure) | kompresjon | |
| compressor (A mechanical device 1. to provide the desired pressure for chemical and physical reactions, 2. to control boiling points of fluids, as in gas separation, refrigeration, and evaporation, 3. to evacuate enclosed volumes, 4. to transport gases or vapors, 5. to store compressible fluids as gases or liquids under pressure and assist in recovering them from storage or tank cars, and 6. to convert mechanical energy to fluid energy for operating instruments, air agitation, fluidization, solid transport, blowcases, air tools, and motors) | kompressor | |
| compulsory use | obligatorisk bruk | |
| concentration (process, The process of increasing the quantity of a component in a solution. The opposite of dilution) | konsentrasjon | |
| concept of environment (The development at any level of a general notion of the surrounding ecosystem, its foundational relationship to human life and the need to preserve its integrity) | miljøbegrep | |
| concession (Any rebate, abatement, voluntary grant of or a yielding to a demand or claim, typically made by a government or controlling authority to an individual or organization) | konsesjon | |
| concrete (A mixture of aggregate, water, and a binder, usually Portland cement; it hardens to stonelike condition when dry) | betong | |
| concrete products industry (No definition needed) | betongproduktindustri | |
| condensation (process, Transformation from a gas to a liquid) | kondensering | |
| conductivity (The ratio of the electric current density to the electric field in a material. Also known as electrical conductivity) | ledningsevne | |
| conflict (A state of opposition or disagreement between ideas, interests, etc.) | konflikt | |
| conflict of aims | målkonflikt | |
| conflict of interests (Clash between public interest and the private pecuniary interest of the individual concerned. A situation in which regard for one duty tends to lead to disregard of another) | interessekonflikt | |
| conflicting use | motstridende bruk | |
| congress (A formal meeting, often consisting of representatives of various organizations, that is assembled to promote, discuss or make arrangements regarding a particular subject or some matter of common interest) | kongress | |
| conifer (An order of conebearing plants which includes nearly all the present day Gymnospermae. Most are tall evergreen trees with needle-like (e.g., pines), linear (e.g. firs) or scale-like (e.g., cedars) leaves. They are characteristic of temperate zones and the main forest trees of colder regions. They provide timber, resins, tars, turpentine and pulp for paper) | bartre | |
| coniferous forest (A forest type characterized by cone-bearing, needle-leaved trees. They are generally, but not necessarily, evergreen and relatively shallow-rooted. Since they grow more rapidly than most broad-leaved trees, conifers are extensively planted as a source of softwood timber and pulp. They are tolerant of wide-ranging climatic conditions, of many different types of soil and of considerable differences in terrain. Thus, they are found from the polar latitudes to the tropics, on most types of soils (especially, thin acid soils) and from mountain summits to coastal environments) | barskog | |
