Iverson eFuels AS

Hege Økland, CEO of Iverson eFuels, is excited to speak at the Policy Update Seminar alongside Andreas Bjelland Eriksen, Norway’s Minister of Climate and Environment, hosted by Maritime CleanTech in Stavanger on January 21, 2025.   As a green ammonia producer, Iverson eFuels is deeply invested in the International Maritime Organization's ambitious climate strategy, which includes a 70% emissions reduction by 2040 and net zero by 2050. With the possibility of a global CO₂ tax as a key tool to reach these goals, this seminar is a great opportunity to explore its impact on the shipping industry.   #ClimateChange #MaritimeIndustry #GreenShipping #GreenAmmonia #CO2Tax #Decarbonisation 

🌍 Yesterday, Gunnar Andre Gauthun held a presentation on behalf of Iverson eFuels at an inspiration event for 10th-grade students at Kulturhuset i Suldal. Around 120 students and parents came together to hear about how technology is driving the green transition and why it’s so important for the future.    💡 We also discussed the exciting career opportunities in our region and the skills needed in the upcoming years. It's always rewarding to connect with young people and exchange ideas about creating a more sustainable future.    💚 Thank you to Suldal kommune for hosting and everyone who participated in the event!   #GreenTransition #GreenJobs #FutureCareers #Sustainability 

Yesterday, Hege Økland represented Iverson at the Open meeting in Sauda, which saw a full community hall of engaged participants. Hege shared insights on the role our green ammonia project in Sauda plays in reducing carbon emissions for the maritime industry and the positive ripple effects that the plant's establishment will have on the local community.   We discussed the creation of green jobs, increased demand for local products and services, and how this initiative will drive value creation in Sauda. Of course, we also addressed important concerns regarding ammonia safety, electricity usage, and costs, emphasising the need to operate on facts and adhere to industry best practices.   It was especially inspiring to hear from the Sauda Youth Council, which expressed a strong desire to be heard and to see their municipality facilitate the green ammonia plant, ensuring it serves both the local community and the broader green transition.   A big thank you to the organisers, Sauda Næringsutvikling KF and Sauda Vekst AS, as well as to Håvard Handeland (Mayor of Sauda kommune), Kåre Bjarte Bjelland (Eramet Norway), Ingar Fossan (Safetec Nordic - A TÜV Rheinland Company), Steinar Jørgensen (municipal council representative), Ingvald Torblå (Odda Technology), Jeff Thompson (SV), Vegard Birkeland Rød (Sp), and Tom Hetland for facilitating such a productive discussion.   #GreenTransition #GreenAmmonia #LocalCommunity #MaritimeIndustry #CleanEnergy #YouthInvolvement #GreenJobs

Maritime transport is a major contributor to emissions both globally and within Norway. Enova SF is powering the transition of the shipping industry to zero-emission fuels and offering investment support for projects utilising ammonia as a fuel in maritime vessels. This programme aims to develop the first fully operational value chain for ammonia in the maritime sector. Key details: ⚓ Eligible projects: Investment in new or retrofitted ammonia-powered vessels 📅 Deadline: 27 September 2024 ⚠️ Note: Qualification criteria have been updated — vessels must conduct at least 1/3 of their operations or port calls in Norway or Norwegian waters. 🤝 As part of the application, Enova requires partnership with a credible ammonia producer. That’s where we at Iverson eFuels can help! 📧 If you're planning to invest in low- or zero-emission vessels and considering ammonia as a fuel alternative, feel free to contact our Business developer, Erlend Finsnes, at e.finsnes@hy2gen.com. #GreenShipping #GreenAmmonia #AmmoniaFuel #MaritimeInnovation #ZeroEmissions #Sustainability https://lnkd.in/djYFPpJK

It was a pleasure for Hege Økland to represent Iverson eFuels AS during the "Establishing new value chains for greener fuels" session at ONS this week. The discussion highlighted both the challenges and opportunities in advancing green fuel technologies.   Hege provided a brief update on the status of the Iverson project, emphasising that Iverson eFuels is well placed in Sauda, a renewable energy hub. The project has been allocated grid allocation from Statnett SF and is among the most mature green ammonia projects in Europe. Key points from the panel discussion included: 🚧 Reducing barriers: Collaborating with end users and public purchasers to ensure the right incentives and market conditions are in place, bridging the gap between policy and implementation. 🏛 Regulations and predictability: There is a strong need for clear, consistent regulations and funding support to build and maintain trust between the government and the private sector. Delays and uncertainty can make frontrunners the unintended losers in this race. 🚢 Public tenders: The critical role of public tenders in driving low-emission solutions was highlighted. The recent decision by Vestland fylkeskommune to waive the low-emission tender criteria for fast ferries due to budget constraints is a reminder of the financial challenges involved. 📅 Auctions and contracts: Exploring various funding tools such as auction-as-a-service and contracts of differences are needed to bridge the price-gap between fossil and renewable fuels. Hege underscored the urgent need to push our government to back their promises with action and funding.   A big thank you to the fellow panel participants, Heidi Wolden from Norled AS and Lars Haltbrekken from Sosialistisk Venstreparti and moderator, Reber I. from NCE Maritime CleanTech, for such an insightful discussion and to the organisers of the Net Zero Markets at ONS for arranging this important event.   💡 The message was clear: We have the technology, the momentum, and the will. Now, we need to close the price gap, ensure predictability, and build trust to truly establish a sustainable value chain for green fuels.
