For the third time in a row, Novige is nominated for another award… This time it is Startup4climate, Sweden’s largest innovation challenge within the energy sector, organized by GodEl and Ellevio.
The purpose of the challenge is to promote and support clean energy solutions and innovations that have the highest potential in accelerating the global energy transition. All innovations and startups in the competition are presented on We Don’t Have Time, a social network dedicated to increasing awareness about the climate crisis and its negative consequences. The winner of Startup4Climate will take home two million Swedish crowns to help speed up the development of their cleantech solution.
“Tackling the climate crisis is very much about finding and scaling up new solutions, and that is exactly the criteria we can deliver on. The other nominated contributions also have strong solutions, but we are convinced that our solution, NoviOcean will help accelerate the necessary energy revolution. The potential for wave power is enormous…”, says Jan Skjoldhammer, CEO and founder of Novige AB.
During the summer, Novige’s wave power concept, NoviOcean, underwent extensive tests at the ECN’s Research Laboratory in Hydrodynamics, Energetics & Atmospheric Environment (LHEEA) in Nantes, France. All results were satisfactory, and several important conclusions were drawn.
Novige plans to have the first full-scale NoviOcean unit developed and ready for deployment by 2024 with a total cost of 5 million euros, which is a fraction of what other wave energy developers have used so far.
The Startup4Climate competition is open to the people’s votes until 1 September and the winners will be announced on 11 November.
1 MW Hybrid Solution
650 kW Wave, 300 kW Wind, 50 kW Solar.
(40% capacity Factor | 3.5 GWh /unit/year)
Lighter, low LCOE, more powerful – the future of clean, efficient energy
Wave energy: 5x denser than wind, 10x solar, available 24/7, highly predictable.
Since 2016, pioneering simplicity, efficiency, and sustainability in cleantech
By 2030, 0.5 GW contracted, and by 2050, 10 GW, reflecting our ambition to campture 25% of the EU’s 2050 target, worth E 30 billion in Europe alone. The global market is six times larger
Structured path: Full-scale prototype 2022, commercial phase by 2029. Cost-efficient tech, global partners, and a sustainable future. Let’s connect!
NoviOcean’s patented innovations and efficient components create a resilient, high-power-density Ocean Energy Converter. With streamlined processes for manufacturing, installation, and maintenance, NoviOcean offers lower costs and competitive LCOE values, challenging existing ocean energy solutions and fossil fuels.
