Research & development Creating real world impact from big ideas

Driving innovation through collaborative R&D

At the core of our mission is a commitment to advancing research and innovation that benefits our customers and society at large. Our approach to R&D is multifaceted, leveraging partnerships, leadership in collaborative projects, and at our state-of-the-art innovation center.

Visit our R&D Center

Ocean GeoLoop´s Research and Development Center is located at SINTEF Industry's premises in Trondheim, Norway.

Book a visit and test our carbon capture solution firsthand on your specific flue gas composition. The service provides an excellent opportunity to test under relevant operating conditions in a time-saving and cost-effective manner. This approach lowers the risk and increases the speed in the decision-making process towards full scale capture.

Dedicated to solving the greatest problems of our time

Ocean GeoLoop was founded by Dr. Hans Gude Gudesen as an offshoot of the research project Ocean, which he initiated in 2006. Dr. Gudesen founded the company based on his patents, ideas and innovations, as a means of  industrializing innovative green technologies with global scaling potential. The company is based on long-term systematic research and methodic development, connected in a holistic concept with the aim of solving the greatest challenges of our time; a combined climate, environment and resource crisis. As a result of Dr. Gudesens long-standing relationship with the internationally renowned R&D institute SINTEF in Trondheim, Norway, and through his strong industrial connections, the company was established in 2020 with headquarters in Verdal Industrial Park, one of the largest industry clusters in Norway.

We are actively involved in groundbreaking research projects led by the renowned research institute SINTEF. Our dedicated scientists and engineers contribute with their expertise, working closely with academic and industry leaders to drive forward new advancements.

As active drivers in forming and steering consortia, we bring together key stakeholders to secure co-funded research and innovation initiatives. These projects focus on building circular value chains, optimizing our processes, and achieving industry-leading innovations, where we play a significant and hands-on role in delivering results.
