Sustainability

Sustainability is at the core of our mission and values. The facilities run on renewable power. Power production is close to the facilities, securing an absolute minimal transmission loss of power. In addition to running on renewable power and operating with world-class low PUE, the CO2 emission from the facility is low and the footprint is limited. The facility will be built in an industry park with limited visibility for surrounding neighbors. WUE (Water Usage Effectiveness) is close to zero, and we will reuse the waste heat.

Norway is unique in having a large surplus production of renewable, low-cost power. Norway is ranked number 1 in the world on secure, accessible, and diversified energy supply. As much as 98.5 % of the country's total power production is hydroelectric. Norway produces nearly twice as much renewable energy as any other Nordic country.
