Five ways to reduce emissions from the Norwegian Continental Shelf
The LowEmission research centre aims to reduce offshore greenhouse gas emissions from the Norwegian Continental Shelf (NCS) by 50%. Recently, there has been…
Predicting the future energy system: modelling offshore wind in the power grid
Achieving a sustainable zero-emission society requires profound changes to the energy system. About half of Norway’s overall energy consumption is fossil based. Decarbonising this half of the energy consumption and simultaneously facilitating sustainable growth in Norway are key challenges going forward.

How can control engineering save birds in wind farms?
In this blog post, we introduce a new concept that prevents bird collisions with rotating blades of wind turbines using control engineering.
Future HVDC grids – yes please, but what is the price tag?
Offshore HVDC grids will be a crucial part of the future energy system – Knowing what they cost is a crucial part of planning them.
