ZEG Power (ZEG) raises NOK 200m in funding round to scale up its zero-emission hydrogen production technology

The capital raise is a significant validation of the ground-breaking ZEG ICCTM technology for clean hydrogen production from hydrocarbon gas and a solid step towards global expansion and scale. ZEG develops clean hydrogen production technology with integrated carbon capture (ZEG ICCTM technology) for various end-user applications, including industry and mobility sectors.

IFE is concerned with developing technology to enable the transition towards green energy. ZEG Power is a good example of this. This strategic investment round will expand the industrialization capacity and open access to global market opportunities for ZEG differentiated technology.

IFE is proud and happy to have brought in Schlumberger as a new investor and strategic partner for the further development of ZEG Power. Together with the other investors and a strong team at ZEG, the foundation is now laid for commercializing a revolutionary technology for hydrogen production and CO2 capture developed at IFE.

The first commercial ZEG plant will be installed year-end 2022 and put into operation in 2023 at CCB Energy Park at Kollsnes, adjacent to the planned Northern Lights CO2 storage infrastructure. The lead investor in the round, Schlumberger, joins existing key investors including IFE Invest, Stratel, AP Ventures, Nysnø Klimainvesteringer, SPARX Mirai, StartupLab Founders Fund, Nordea Asset Management and Danske Invest.

To have a technology leader of such caliber as Schlumberger, with a worldwide footprint and network, brings vast opportunities for ZEG. We look forward to continuing to develop business opportunities with Schlumberger as a strategic partner.
