Award Winning green team
Bergen Carbon Solutions won the “Vil litt mer” and the “Spir-prize” for developing an energy efficient production-method where they make carbon nano fiber out of CO2.
Using only renewable energy, the carbon nano fiber is produced by extracting carbon from CO2 emission. With the only bi-product being oxygen (O2 ), the production process is carbon negative. Bergen Carbon Solutions calls it green carbon nano fiber.
