The delegation was given a tour of the centre’s high-class laboratory facilities and was introduced to our work.
“How to deliver reasonable and sustainable energy to the world’s population is one of the main challenges we have. We need to research and develop new solutions and to continue to optimize our energy sources. I am very impressed with how DTU Offshore is working with both the industry and the academic world to find specific solutions for the offshore industry,” Ola Borten Moe says.
Since 2020, DTU Offshore has launched research programmes on CO2 storage, abandonment of wells, and produced water management. In addition, the centre is a partner in the CCS Bifrost project about CO2 storage together with industrial partners, Ørsted and TotalEnergies.
“We have adjusted the centre’s strategy to support the energy transition. Today, DTU Offshore performs research and development projects within offshore CO2 storage, produced water and environmental management, digitalization, and field abandonment. It was a great pleasure to host this visit, which shows that DTU Offshore is being acknowledged as a key player in the energy transition also in Norway,” Centre Director Morten W. Jeppesen says.
