Norwegian companies Ocean Sun and Inseanergy have formed partnership to supply the aquaculture industry with green energy using floating solar technology.
Following the settlement of a patent dispute earlier this year , Ocean Sun and Inseanergy have entered into a cooperation agreement to supply green energy systems based on Ocean Sun’s floating solar technology to the aquaculture industry worldwide.
Commenting on the partnership, Kari-Elin Hildre , CEO of Inseanergy, said: “Through extensive testing, validations, and full-scale demonstrators, Ocean Sun has shown that their technology is very well suited to our main market, namely operations in the aquaculture industry.
“By forging strong partnerships with world-class technology providers, in combination with our competence as a system integrator and our vast network within aquaculture, we can together increase the opportunity to take global green leadership.”
Børge Bjørneklett , CEO of Ocean Sun, added: “The aquaculture industry in Norway and abroad has a large need to reduce emissions and Ocean Sun’s floating solar technology is perfectly suited for reducing fossil fuel consumption.
“Inseanergy is an ideal partner, as a system integrator, and in reaching the large and widespread market internationally. Strategically located in Ålesund, they have a significant client base in the aquaculture industry, and with the outward-looking and business-oriented view that a ‘Sunnmøring’ is known for, they also have a global perspective on everything they do.”
