這些新創不僅展現對綠色未來的承諾，更為全球 ESG（環境、社會與治理）標準立下典範。以下是五家在氣候科技領域嶄露頭角的挪威代表性新創公司：

Norway, often hailed as the land of fjords, is not only globally renowned for its breathtaking natural landscapes but also for its unwavering commitment to environmental protection and sustainable development. In response to global sustainability challenges, Norwegian startups are presenting unprecedented solutions through advanced battery technologies, intelligent digital platforms, and innovations in maritime maintenance.

1. Norsjór：以雷射科技對抗海洋生物附著，實現船舶去碳化

由阿格德爾大學的 Amalie Eliersten 與其團隊創立的 Norsjór，致力於解決海洋生物附著（biofouling）問題。該現象指的是細菌、藻類與小型海洋生物逐漸附著於船體等水下結構表面，進而增加航行阻力、耗油與溫室氣體排放。

These startups are not only demonstrating a strong commitment to a greener future but are also setting benchmarks for global ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) standards. Below are five standout Norwegian climate-tech startups making waves in the field:

Norsjór: Using Laser Technology to Combat Biofouling and Enable Maritime Decarbonization

Founded by Amalie Eliersten and her team at the University of Agder, Norsjór is tackling the issue of marine biofouling - where bacteria, algae, and small marine organisms accumulate on the hulls of ships and other submerged structures, increasing drag, fuel consumption, and greenhouse gas emissions.

Norsjór 開發出創新雷射清潔技術，能有效移除附著物，同時不傷害海洋生態，更減少對有毒清潔化學品的依賴。該公司也因此入選 2023 年 Equinor & Techstars 能源加速器計畫，備受矚目。

2. Volue：以軟體推動能源、供水與基礎設施的數位轉型

Volue 成立於 2020 年，由四家北歐科技公司合併而成，包括 Markedskraft、Powel、Scanmatic 和 Wattsight。總部位於奧斯陸，Volue 利用高階軟體解決方案協助能源、水資源、電網與基礎設施部門提升效率與永續性。

Norsjór has developed an innovative laser cleaning technology that effectively removes biofouling without harming marine ecosystems or relying on toxic cleaning chemicals. The company gained recognition after being selected for the 2023 Equinor & Techstars Energy Accelerator Program.

Volue: Powering the Digital Transformation of Energy, Water, and Infrastructure

Formed in 2020 through the merger of four Nordic tech firms - Markedskraft, Powel, Scanmatic, and Wattsight - Oslo-based Volue offers high-end software solutions to optimize efficiency and sustainability in the energy, water, grid, and infrastructure sectors.

其平台整合多項功能，包括再生能源調度、電網優化、基礎建設升級等。Volue 更獲得挪威創新署（Innovation Norway）資助，運用機器學習與即時數據減少水資源浪費。此外，Volue 也被歐盟執委會列為「地平線 2020」計畫下的核心創新者，展現其在能源交易平台研發的領先地位。

3. Morrow Batteries：打造歐洲最大 LFP 電池廠，實現綠能轉型

創立於 2020 年、總部位於阿倫達爾的 Morrow Batteries，專注於開發價格合理且永續的電池技術，加速全球向綠能轉型。

Morrow 正在興建歐洲第一座吉瓦級鋰鐵磷（LFP）電池工廠，預計今年開始量產。更重要的是，該公司承諾採用 100% 可再生水力發電製造電池，大幅降低碳排放。此外，Morrow 正研發無鈷、低鎳的 LNMO 電池，以回應電池原料的倫理與環境議題。

為推動技術落地，Morrow 除了獲得挪威創新署 15 億挪威克朗資助外，也與全球 30 間研究機構合作，並於格林斯塔成立 Morrow 研發中心。

Volue’s platform integrates functionalities such as renewable energy dispatch, grid optimization, and infrastructure upgrades. Backed by Innovation Norway, Volue leverages machine learning and real-time data to reduce water waste. The company has also been recognized by the European Commission as a key innovator under the Horizon 2020 program, particularly for its energy trading platform development.

Morrow Batteries: Building Europe’s Largest LFP Battery Plant for a Renewable Future

Founded in 2020 and headquartered in Arendal, Morrow Batteries is developing cost-effective and sustainable battery technologies to accelerate the global green transition.

Morrow is constructing Europe’s first gigafactory dedicated to lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries, with production slated to begin this year. Notably, the company pledges to use 100% renewable hydropower for battery production, significantly reducing carbon emissions. It is also developing cobalt-free and low-nickel LNMO batteries to address ethical and environmental concerns related to raw materials.

With NOK 1.5 billion in funding from Innovation Norway and partnerships with over 30 global research institutions, Morrow has also established a dedicated R&D center in Grimstad.
