"Our team delivered solid technological development during the first quarter, proven by the preliminary results from the ongoing feasibility study with quicklime producer NorFraKalk, which documents the performance of Ocean GeoLoop´s carbon capture technology for the quicklime and cement industry. The results demonstrate that we are on track to deliver world-class carbon capture," says Odd-Geir Lademo, Chief Executive Officer of Ocean GeoLoop.

Ocean GeoLoop reported revenues in the first quarter of 2024 of NOK 38.3 million, down from NOK 46.0 million in same period last year due to some periodization and large contract deliveries in 2023, with Energi Teknikk AS as the main revenue contributor. Ocean GeoLoop continued the planned investments in technology development and reports a negative EBITDA* of NOK 11.6 million, a decrease from a positive EBITDA of NOK 0.5 million in the same period last year. Cash and cash equivalents stood at NOK 96.7 million at the end of the period.

The test program at 25% flue gas CO2 concentration confirmed carbon capture rates exceeding 90% and product gas purity of 95%, enabling delivery of liquified CO2 above 99% purity. Ocean GeoLoop today reaffirms the target to provide corresponding data for energy consumption before summer.

“We are currently working on optimizing the technology for the lowest possible energy use towards the ultimate technical capacity of 100% capture and separation rate when optimally implemented,” Lademo ends.
