In Norway, Nel Hydrogen US has received a contract for a containerized PEM electrolyser from LanzaJet to be installed at the world’s first commercial “Alcohol-to-Jet” production plant for sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), built by LanzaJet, an innovative leader in biofuel technology. Production capacity, when complete, will be 10 million gallons of SAF and renewable diesel […]
In Norway, Circa Group AS announced that its levoglucosenone derivative, made from waste, non-food biomass, has been used as an intermediate in an award-winning manufacture process for an investigational drug for leukaemia. The 2022 Peter J. Dunn Award for Green Chemistry and Engineering Impact in the Pharmaceutical Industry recognised MSD for their work in developing […]
In Norway, Minister of Trade and Industry, Jan Christian Vestre, officially opened the new biocomposite plant at Norske Skog Saugbrugs in Halden on May 16, 2022. Norske Skog sees great commercial and environmental potential in the production of biocomposite through the subsidiary CEBICO AS. Norske Skog’s biocomposite product CEBICO is a more sustainable alternative to […]
In Norway, Circa and Valmet have signed a Heads of Agreement to realize and optimize the Furacell production process at scale through the ReSolute project and future large-scale plants. Valmet will be the main process technology and equipment supplier, and actively contribute to accelerating the development of Circa’s large-scale production plants. The cooperation considerably strengthens […]
In Norway, large and increasing demand from industry to decarbonize, recycle carbon, and to secure access to reliable and locally produced CO2 neutral energy, has motivated cleantech provider Vow ASA to start building a large-scale pyrolysis reactor for production of biocarbon and syngas. The new reactor will be built and delivered by the end of […]
In Norway, a startup has developed a road repair process that uses recycled asphalt and a proprietary plant-based adhesive that sequesters carbon, offering a greener alternative for the particularly polluting road construction market. The company—appropriately named Carbon Crusher—starts by grinding up existing asphalt from stretches of road in need of repair. This reduces the emissions […]
In Norway, up and coming designer Mari Koppanen is revisiting a mushroom leather that was once commonly used in the Transylvanian region. She recently featured the nearly-lost technique in the Fomes furniture range.

In Norway, UECC has taken delivery of the world’s first dual-fuel LNG battery hybrid PCTC that is set to provide significant gains in energy efficiency and emissions reduction as it enters service this year to boost the leading European shortsea ro-ro carrier’s bold effort to decarbonize its fleet. The vessel, to be named Auto Advance, […]
In Norway, a new graphene-based sensor to monitor fresh food as it travels from farm to consumer has been developed by researchers at the University of Adelaide in Australia. The new technology uses Circa’s Cyrene solvent in a graphene ink formulation to produce the low-cost sensors, which can be printed onto food packaging to detect […]
