our industrial point source carbon capture pilot at Norske Skog Skogn in Norway.
Having an autonomous carbon capture plant with no harmful chemicals or need for
residual heat are features that are highly appreciated by our industrial
partners. The pilot shows solid performance related to industrial robustness,
including when run autonomously over longer periods," says Odd-Geir Lademo,
Chief Executive Officer of Ocean GeoLoop.

experts from SINTEF. Ocean GeoLoopŽs two test facilities allow rapid
experimental simulation of customerŽs flue gas composition and operating
conditions and represents a powerful means for industrial customers to save both
time and cost in evaluation and testing of the technology.
