About us

Faster from idea to market

Sustainable Energy drives the development of new and green technology through testing. We cover the development of sustainable solutions for producing, storing, distributing and managing energy – from prototype development and testing in laboratory environments to finished products that need to be tested in operational facilities on land, on ships or in marine environments.

We provide the expertise and test facilities needed to get new solutions and new technology from idea to market faster. We can also assist in applying for project funding from Norwegian and European funding schemes.

Instead of building your own test infrastructure, test your tech today through Sustainable Energy. It’s faster and more cost-efficient, and due to our vast experience testing new tech, we´ll ensure new solutions a safe path the market.

Sustainable Energy is part of Siva´s Norwegian Catapult Programme, funded by the Norwegian Government. Established in 2018, we gained status as one of five Norwegian Catapult Centers. Our main office is located in Stord, close to pioneering companies in the industry.

 

Let´s accelerate green together

Our highly skilled team is more than ready to help your company develop new and green solutions within green shipping, floating offshore wind, carbon capture and storage and energy transition.

PORTFOLIO

Developing World´s First Technologies

For years, we´ve successfully tested new and sustainable energy solutions with our partners. We take on big and small projects to help accelerate the transition to a greener future. Reach out and start testing your tech today!

   

World´s first vessel running on Ammonia

US startup Amogy proved their patented high-efficiency Ammonia cracking technology on a drone, a tractor, and a semi-truck.

When they wanted to scale up even further and take their tech to sea, they searched the world for partners to help them.

They found us — Sustainable Energy on the West Coast of Norway. With our vast network of expertise, we helped Amogy prove and develop their groundbreaking solution.

After a year of testing in the Energy House, Amogy succesfully demonstrated their technology on the Hudson river when they sailed the World’s First Carbon-Free Ammonia Powered Maritime Vessel. Read more

Ammonia Combustion Engine

Wärtsilä´s combustion engines are aboard one-third of ships in operation today.

After testing in the Energy House, the innovative Finnish company has retrofitted and developed a 3 MW four-stroke engine to run on Ammonia. Retrofitting engines to run on Ammonia will secure massive emission cuts for global shipping.

Learnings from successful testing have also led to a new line of dual-fuel engines ready for operations on Ammonia. Read more

Offshore Charging from Wind Turbines

By connecting vessels to the power grid in the wind farm and charging batteries regularly, the Ocean Charger Project´s solution is securing the availability of emission-free vessel operations offshore.

Through testing, the Ocean Charger has proved that it can power operations in the field without using any additional energy sources.
