Long-term perspectives on Norway's energy resources
Tina Bru
Wednesday June 16, 2021 09:15 - 09:25 CEST PLENARY
The Norwegian government recently presented the white paper focusing on the long-term value creation from Norwegian energy resources. In assessing the industrial potential in energy for future sustainability, profitable jobs and value creation – how can underwater technology play a role?
A post-Covid perspective on energy markets, transitions and emissions

How to make a difference in the energy transition?
Arne Sigve Nylund
Wednesday June 16, 2021 09:35 - 09:55 CEST PLENARY
Arne Sigve Nylund will discuss energy production, in a net zero future. How can we make a difference in the energy transition; is a low-carbon footprint in the upstream industry possible?
Status and Perspectives of Gas in Germany
Timm Kehler
Wednesday June 16, 2021 10:20 - 10:40 CEST PLENARY
Timm will outline how Europe is a key natural gas market today, but also what the future looks like. Are the perspectives what we might expect? Are decarbonising technologies like blue hydrogen and carbon capture and storage attractive on mainland Europe and is there a choice?
In it for the long run
Kristin Færøvik
Wednesday June 16, 2021 10:40 - 11:00 CEST PLENARY
The Norwegian oil and gas industry will play a significant role for many years to come. But as always we must adapt to society's expectations. Emissions reductions are important, but so are development of new technologies, continued exploration activity and the development of new fields. As explorers by nature, we are passionate and excited about addressing all of these challenges.
Subsea – an Integral Part of Future Energy Solutions
Kjetel Digre
Wednesday June 16, 2021 11:00 - 11:15 CEST PLENARY
What will the low-carbon future look like from the supply chain perspective – both in terms of technology and as a business. We have seen that we need new solutions and technologies, industrialization and digitalization across all work processes. What does it take for our industry to deliver on this unprecedented transformation?
The Energy Transition is here - a new era for underwater technology?
