Did you know ? The GTT Innovation Challenge ! 🚀 In the GTT Group, we are committed to shaping the future of energy with innovative solutions that drive sustainability and excellence. Our internal participative innovation initiative, called GTT Innovation Challenge brings together teams from across the Group to create ground-breaking ideas that will define the future of GTT and its industry.   This year, four key themes were explored, all centered around the global energy transition: • Energy Efficiency 🔋 • Greenhouse Gas Reduction 🌱 • Low-Carbon Technologies ⚡ • Corporate Social Responsibility 🤝   🏆 This year, the winning team of the Innovation Challenge was Blue Regas! Their project focuses on an innovative system that makes blue hydrogen competitive and sustainable without excessive energy consumption. They are now entering an incubation phase at WILCO to develop their solution, which promise to play a vital role in the energy transition. Thanks to all the teams for their creativity, their forward-thinking spirit and their engagement to push the boundaries of what’s possible for a better, greener tomorrow.   🎥 Watch our video recap to experience the energy, creativity, and passion our teams brought to this incredible event! #GTTInside #TechnologyForASustainableWorld

Very much enjoyed participating in the Green Fuels Talk at NCE Maritime CleanTech Cleantech’s Innovation Workshop on tech barriers today! Green ammonia is an important part of the energy mix required to decarbonise the maritime sector. Norway has a very good basis to become a leading producer of green ammonia and harvesting first mover advantages, and there is an urgent need for policy development to lead and drive the change to green. Important discussions on safety, market development and the need for government support.

I had the privilege of speaking at the Maritime & Logistics Webinar, powered by Energy Connects, ahead of ADIPEC 2024. During the discussion, we explored the significant challenges that the maritime industry faces in transitioning from traditional fuels to alternative energy sources. The existing infrastructure is not yet fully equipped to support these new technologies, which poses hurdles for innovation and sustainability. However, these challenges also present opportunities for growth as we look to adopt more efficient and environmentally friendly solutions. Looking forward to seeing how our industry continues to evolve in the face of emerging technologies!

💡 Cleantech for Europe Scaleup Coalition Joins Innovation Fund Conference on Driving Sustainable Innovation 💡 Packed day at CINEA - European Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency's #IFCleantech conference, with speeches from European Commission EVP Maroš Šefčovič, EU Environment and Climate Director General Kurt Vandenberghe, and the leaders of cleantech scale-ups from across Europe. The need to scale up cleantech emerged as key to Europe’s economic competitiveness, energy resilience and security. In a keynote address on the topic of deployment and scaling up cleantech manufacturing, Vaitea Cowan, co-founder of Enapter, made the case for simpler and better public funding for cleantech manufacturing, in particular by focusing urgently on de-risking instruments which can help European innovators to compete on a level playing field by freeing up precious working capital. One clear theme from the day: the role of ambitious policymaking to massively increase funding for the most promising clean technologies in Europe. In the words of Kurt Vandenberghe, “We have made the regulatory case. Now, we need to make the business case."
