TECO 2030 has signed a strategic cooperation agreement with UiT The Arctic University of Norway to cooperate on enhancing research and education in Norway on hydrogen and fuel cells.
The TECO 2030 Innovation Center in Narvik will be a combined factory and innovation centre, where the company will produce hydrogen fuel cells that are specifically designed for use on ships and other heavy-duty applications.
Contributing to the development of sustainable energy solutions for land and sea transport is central in the research and development work we do at our faculty, and for us, fuel cell solutions that use hydrogen as an energy carrier are of particular interest
stated Professor Bjørn-Reidar Sørensen. He is the head of the Department of Building, Energy and Material Technology at the UiT.
Under the agreement, TECO 2030 will contribute to improving UiT’s research and education in the field of hydrogen fuel cells.
TECO 2030 and UiT will together also identify and cooperate on creating hydrogen-related projects for marine and land-based applications. They will jointly conduct research projects and they will cooperate on increasing the efficiency of the fuel cell production equipment at the TECO 2030 Innovation Center.
We are very happy to be cooperating with UiT on enhancing the education in northern Norway for the use of hydrogen and fuel cells, and we are looking forward to welcoming students and researchers at the university to our new Innovation Center in Narvik
mentioned says Tore Enger, CEO of TECO 2030 ASA.
TECO 2030 is currently developing fuel cells together with the Austrian powertrain technology company AVL.
