Hydropower 98,5% of electricity in Norway comes from hydropower Rainpower (former Kværner Brug): Leading global supplier of turbines for high water falls Advisor/engineering of hydropower projects, supplier of critical technology, and investor in hydropower projects Photo: Katrine Vefferstad
Wind power Second largest renewable power source enduring extreme conditions (wind, speed, icing, complex landscapes) Blaaster AS testing 3MW new low-cost direct driven turbine Wind turbine technology, grid integration, power predictions, farm development, certification and investment Photo: MANGLER KREDIT
Offshore wind power 10 000 offshore turbines will be installed in Europe within 2020 Statoil Hywind: The world s first full-scale 2,3 MW floating wind turbine 10 km off the Norwegian coastline Sub-sea installations, foundations, submarine power cables, offshore substations, installation vessels Photo: Innovation Norway 12
Solar energy Norway has been a pioneer in photovoltaics, one of the fastest-growing sources for renewable power Elkem Solar: 7500 mty production of super clean solar grade silcon with ¼ of the energy consumption Metallurgical R&D, production of solar grade silicon, monocrystaline wafers, sale of production technology Photo: REC
Ocean energy Huge ocean power potential no proven technology Flumill: Innovative concept using helix, which will rotate at the speed of the tidal flow Prototypes in tidal, wave power and from salt water gradients, use of ocean power solutions in bridges and piers Photo: Flumill
Bioenergy Bioenergy is CO2 neutral and resources are in the neighbourhood. Norway will double the production within 2020 Solør Bioenergi: Energy production from impregnated wood waste, production of wood briquettes Cellulosic bioethanol, bioenergy from algae and seeweed, gassification, combined heat and power, stoves Photo: Eidsiva Energi
Geothermal power By drilling 3 5 kms down, thermal energy can be utilized for hot water or steam production Norwegian Center for Geothermal Reasearch facilitates the development and exploitation of geothermal energy Resource mapping, geological surveys, drilling technology, reservoir engineering, well head plants, pilot projects Photo: Green Energy Group
Energy storage The world is looking for energy storage opportunities Statkraft has experience in using dams for power storage and compensate for unpredictable supply pattern Expertise in transmission and adjusting demand/supply by hydropower Photo: MANGLER KREDIT.
Smart grid Reduction of energy consumption and peak loads by use of ICT for monitoring and controlling supply and demand Energi Trøndelag: Management of larger power consumption in 400 industries and local renewable power production Solutions for transmission (TSO) and distribution (DSO) system operators, demand-reponse, smart energy markets Illustration: MANGLER KRED.
Green data centres Huge data centres need energy, cooling, space and infrastructure for storing and processing data Green Mountain: Data centre in mountain fully powered by renewable energy and cold Norwegian water for cooling Cold climate, geologically stable, world-class utilities, sophisticated infrastructure, highly skilled people Photo: MANGLER KREDIT
Sustainable buildings Buildings use 50% of energy, emit 40% of CO 2, consume 50% of materials and generate 25% of waste Snøhetta: Architecture company striving for eco-effective and beautiful designs Building Information Models (BIM) for optimizing energy consumption, use of wood and aluminium in construction Photo: Snøhetta
Clean water Access to fresh water is the second biggest challenge after the climate change Biowater Technology: wastewater treatment and reuse systems to municipalities and industrial installations Technology for water threatment, re-use of waste water, desalination, recycling of energy, consultancy, botteled water Photo: CF Wesenberg
Energy efficiency in industry Energy-intensive industry use 25 % of Norways electric power Hydro: Developing aluminum furnace technolgy for reducing the power consumption by 30 % More power efficient processes, regeneration of power from off-gases, use of cooling water Photo: Jan-Olav Ingvaldsen 22
Waste treatment Waste produce greenhouse gases, contaminate water and soil, and may cause health problems Cambi produces biogas, heating, electricty and fertilizer out of muncipal and industrial sludge Technology and plants for organic and municipal waste, solutions for sorting and recyling Photo: Martin Ystenes
Sustainable shipping International and national shipping is a major source for CO 2, NOx and SOx emissions Fjellstrand constructed the world s largest battery-powered ferry 120 vehicles, 360 passengers, 10 min recharging time Use of LNG, hybrid solutions, pure battery power, SOx and NOx cleaning, cleaning of hull, balast water treatment Photo: Innovation Norway
Low emission for oil and gas production The petroleum production sector account for 26% of Norway s climate gas emissions Technology Center Mongstad: The world largest facility for testing and improving CO 2 capture technologies Carbon capture, electrification of offshore platforms, gas turbines with higher energy performance Photo: TCM
Sustainable transportation Norway has the highest density of electric vehicles in the world Think: From pioneer in electric vehicles, via Ford ownership, and to bankrupcy. A growing market for global vehicle brands Incentives for electric and hydrogen vehicles, infrastructure technology (charging/fuelling stations), new business models Photo: Morten Thomassen
Green Services Services in the private at public sector stands for 74% of the employment and 56% of the gross domestic product Det norske Veritas (DnV): Classification, verification, certification, advisory in energy, maritime, oil and gas Energy trading, carbon trading, analyzis of energy markets, energy or environmental consulting and engineering Foto: Wikimedia 27
