SolarDuck, a pioneer in Offshore Floating Solar Technology, today announced the launch of a high-level Advisory Board to accelerate the integration of its solutions within the offshore CCS (Carbon Capture and Storage) and offshore energy sectors. The board, composed initially of two distinguished industry experts, will provide strategic guidance and technical insights to help guide the adaptation of SolarDuck’s technology to these applications.
“This Advisory Board marks a significant step forward in our vision to pioneer sustainable energy systems offshore, and more specifically to the exciting opportunity to deliver sustainable, reliable power and communications to subsea assets,” said Koen Burgers, CEO at SolarDuck. “Their deep industry knowledge will be invaluable in completing our journey of adapting and enhancing our offshore-tested technology to meet the specific requirements of those applications.”
The Advisory Board
The board will initially comprise of two members, one of which is Neil Kavanagh, a global energy leader and formerly Chief Scientist at Australia's leading natural gas company Woodside Energy. In addition, Tore Moe, currently Vice President Geomarkets and Senior Energy Advisor Australia at Norwegian Energy Partners (NORWEP), also joins. Between them, they bring decades of experience in operational and strategic roles, as well as technology development and innovation.
This initiative underscores SolarDuck’s commitment to pioneering sustainable offshore energy systems. SolarDuck is now adding a new leg to its utility-scale solar strategy by using its Offshore Floating Power Hub (OFPH) to reliably and sustainably power remote offshore and subsea assets
