Ålesund company Cyan Energy revolutionizes electric vehicle charging
Ålesund-based Cyan Energy has developed a groundbreaking charging station that produces its own energy from hydrogen, solar, and wind. This innovative solution promises charging times that electric vehicle owners today can only dream of.

More environmentally friendly, efficient, and easier installation of offshore wind
Framo has developed a pump system for suction anchors that enables almost noise-free and environmentally friendly installation of offshore wind turbines.
Maritime
Combining sail and crane in one machine
A ship’s crane which can double up as a sail when not being used for lifting is being developed by Kristiansand-based Nekkar. That will provide additional propulsion for the vessel and reduce fuel consumption.
Carbon capture and storage
Injecting carbon dioxide directly from ship to reservoir
Nemo Maritime is drawing on experience with offshore loading on oil fields to develop a solution for shipborne transport of liquefied CO2 to be injected directly into a storage formation.
Renewable energy
Generating power from wind, waves and sun
An experienced engineer laid off in the oil price downturn came up with the idea of Flex2power – a new type of base for wind turbines which also derives energy simultaneously from waves and sun.
Carbon capture and storage
Environment-friendly carbon capture
Inspired by the Paris agreement, GreenCap Solutions (GCS) has come up with a sustainable technology for carbon capture which generates no harmful waste.

Visualising the complete offshore wind farm
Moreld Apply is utilising expertise and methodologies from subsea field developments to engineer and visualise complete offshore wind farms.
Renewable energy
Less time and fewer resources to design, build and operate wind energy power plants
The software solution allows planners to visualise how the time taken to produce Asian components can affect a project in Europe or how bottlenecks can be eliminated in an installation campaign for wind turbines.
Maritime
New solution for subsea lifting
Beluga Subsea wanted to do something about the eternal challenge of lifting under water without cranes or gasbags, and came up with a completely new way of approaching the problem.
Renewable energy
More intelligent wind-farm control
Norway’s Origo Solutions saw that substantial financial benefits could be achieved from smarter management of wind farms by operating and monitoring such facilities as a whole.
Renewable energy
Moorings for floating wind turbines
MacGregor Norway AS delivers anchoring solutions for floating petroleum facilities. It now sees opportunities in the sharply expanding market for offshore wind power.
Renewable energy
From fish to drilling to wind power
In 2008 4Subsea had the vision that drilling operations on the Skarv field in the Norwegian North Sea ought to be controlled by actual measurement data rather than design parameters alone.
Renewable energy
Improved trenching of subsea high-voltage cables
FSubsea’s pumps dig deeper into the seabed than other available solutions, eliminating the need to dump gravel over trenched electrical transmission cables in order to protect them.
Renewable energy
Dynamic cables for offshore wind farms
Unitech has specialised for several decades in the design, production and delivery of subsea equipment for the oil and gas sector, including connectors and cables. It is now turning its attention to wind power at sea.
Renewable energy
Cost-effective supports for offshore wind turbines
Wind turbine foundations can be installed at sea faster more cheaply and more safely with the solution Imenco has developed through its involvement in the oil and gas industry.
Renewable energy
Data integration makes hydropower smarter
A digital platform which integrates large volumes of data into a unified structure for oil and gas companies is now being extended to make the hydropower generation more efficient and intelligent.
Communication
Plugging in marine-based industries
Communication, control and management of advanced operations via an offshore 4G mobile network is as relevant for fishing as it is for the petroleum sector.

Aker Solutions ready to scale up offshore wind
Semi-submersible platforms from Aker Solutions can carry larger and much more powerful wind turbines than those found on land.
