DeepSea International Consortium

We are pleased to present the Environment Monitoring Session Report.

This is the 7^th edition of the November Conference and “Environmental Monitoring Sessions”, and we are proud to say that Norwegian and Brazilian collaboration continue to grow.

The EMS occurred in Nov. 12^th from 14:30 pm to 17:00pm. The aim was to present topics that may seed good ideas for joint Brazil-Norway proposals (FINEP & Research Council of Norway). The EMS brought Norwegian and Brazilian multidisciplinary professionals to present their research and innovative instruments related to environmental monitoring projects.

The NC and the EMS are arenas to increase the reach of efforts like the many projects presented during the Norway Brazil Week 2019, which provides a mechanism for researchers to step forward and create new important collaborations.

Knowledge and technology put into action through partnerships between science and industry will create opportunities for sustainable use of the ocean in the years to come. Bilateral collaborative projects will allow the blue industries to develop while safeguarding the marine environment.

The initiative takers behind the event consists of GCE Ocean Technology, NCE Seafood Innovation Cluster, NCE Maritime Cleantech, Maritime Bergen, The University of Bergen, Institute of Marine Research, NORCE, VIS, Bergen Kommune, Connect Norway, Invest in Bergen and Bergen Chamber. VIS will, in cooperation with technical organizer, Bergen Live, stand for project management and technical implementation. The organizers are  aiming to provide the most important and relevant event within the ocean industry.

THE OCEAN is a new meeting arena for sharing of knowledge and development of technology across the ocean industries.

THE OCEAN is going to have a relevant program with a combination of international speakers, connections between academic disciplines across sectors and parallel sessions within energy, food and mobility.

– Norway is one of the worlds leading maritime nations, and exports ocean competency and technology to all the worlds continents. Now we are leading in a course where competence and technology develops and exerts across traditional sectors in the ocean. This opens for big new opportunities and new global markets for the Western region of Norway and in the rest of Norway, says Owe Hagesæther, director at GCE Ocean Technology and leader for the program committee at THE OCEAN.

THE OCEAN will stimulate new collaboration for sustainable utilization of the ocean resources and at the same time contribute in development of new global market opportunities.

THE OCEAN will work for increased activities, visibility and attracting young talents to the ocean industries, and the link between academia and business is crucial for showing innovation power and knowledge.

The first event will be in Bergen, September 17th, 2019. Much of the modern high-tech in Norway is based on the ocean industries.

Norway is proud to host the Our Ocean Conference in 2019:

“Knowledge must be the basis of our actions and policies to ensure sustainable future economic growth. We must continue to learn, share and act for clean, healthy and productive oceans. We need to take an integrated, science-based approach to ocean management, rather than managing oceans sector by sector” – Minister of Foreign Affairs Ine Eriksen Søreide’s statement at the Our Ocean Conference in Indonesia 29/10/2018.

The oceans are essential to life on earth. For humans, they provide food, jobs, energy and communication highways. They help regulate our climate, control weather patterns and produce oxygen for us to breathe. However, today the oceans are under threat from the effects of climate change, over-fishing, pollution and loss of biodiversity. The Our Ocean conferences are designed to spur significant and meaningful actions to restore the regenerative powers of the oceans so that they can continue to provide for the needs of future generations.

Within the six Areas of Action below, the Our Ocean conference is seeking solutions through policy, governance, technology and finance.

This year in Oslo, the meeting will highlight the importance of knowledge as the basis of our actions and policies to ensure protection of our oceans, responsible management of marine resources and sustainable future economic growth. The conferecne shall trigger, amplify and accelerate action for clean and healthy oceans, where production and protection go hand in hand.

The output of the world’s ocean economy is estimated at around EUR 1.3 trillion and is expected to more than double by 2030. At the same time, environmental problems are one of the main obstacles to realising the opportunities for growth in the ocean economy.

The blue economy could become an important driver of prosperity and job creation, not least in some developing and middle-income countries where this sector already represents an important share of the overall economy.

If we are to achieve the international community’s ambitions set out in the UN Sustainable Development Goals, we need to increase our use of the oceans in a sustainable manner that contributes to food security and also reduces global warming and environmental degradation. Sectors such as fisheries, aquaculture, offshore energy, blue biotechnology, green shipping, coastal tourism and marine mineral resources offer significant opportunities for fostering blue growth and promoting inclusive development.

New partnerships between governments, local communities, researchers and private investors are needed, as well as a whole new set of blue skills to drive innovation.

Businesses have an independent responsibility, alongside governments and civil society, to take action to safeguard the oceans.

The Our Ocean conference is seeking to secure commitments from industry, national and local authorities, research institutions and civil society to shift ocean-based economic activities toward sustainable practices, enabling us to harvest the full potential of the blue economy in a smart, sustainable and inclusive way.

Here you can read the Report delivered to Innovation Norway about our last activities: THE DEEPSEA ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING CLUSTER_IN REPORT2019

Soon we’ll have more news about our next activities!

Norway must ensure sustainable development in the ocean areas in cooperation with other countries. It is an ambition that Norway takes an international leadership role in important ocean issues. Norway has a strong interest in securing healthy and productive oceans. The Government has presented a report to address Norway’s interests and role in foreign and development policy.

Norway has important expertise to share with other countries and has a long tradition of marine research. Knowledge of sustainable management and resource utilization from the sea is in itself an export goods. The goal is to become the leader nation and the preferred partner for cooperation on ocean issues. Blue growth through green conversion.

Significant growth in blue industries is expected globally. The Organization for Economic Development and Cooperation (OECD), in its report “The Ocean Economy in 2030”, shows that economic activity in the ocean is growing rapidly, and estimates that the marine economy will provide 40 million jobs and double its contribution to global value creation by 2030. Much of the growth is expected to come in industries where Norway already has important advantages. At the same time, developments in the global ocean economy are limited by the ongoing deterioration of the sea state. One of the great challenges of the future will be to balance the need for increased productivity with the need for stronger protection of the marine resource base. Norwegian companies are the world leader in, among other things, subsea systems, drilling technology, seismic and offshore supply vessels. To achieve the UN’s sustainability goals, an offensive management is required that facilitates new jobs and responsible exploitation of marine resources. With the Norwegian natural resources and knowledge, technology and management expertise, Norway is well equipped to meet these opportunities and challenges, with good conditions for sustainable growth and value creation in the Norwegian blue industries. There is a potential to exploit synergies and strengthen the interaction between established industries, sectors and disciplines. The state of the Norwegian sea areas is generally good. The OECD report shows that the development of the global ocean economy is limited by the ongoing deterioration of the sea state. Emissions of greenhouse gases and pollution change the oceans gradually in a way we do not know the consequences of. Due to increased CO2 emissions, the oceans become more acidic, the water gets warmer and the sea level rises. The sea and the coast are supplied with pollution and waste. Future value creation in the ocean industries assumes that we to an even greater extent ensure sustainable use of the sea and its resources. Reducing greenhouse gas emissions requires changes in energy production and use. It requires all industries to become more efficient and cleaner. One of the great challenges of the future will be to balance the need for increased productivity with the need for stronger protection of the marine resource base. Here Norway has a lot of expertise to share with other countries. One of the Norwegian foremost competitive advantages is the knowledgeable oil engineers, process operators, seafarers, fishermen and breeders with high operational expertise in exploiting the sea. The ability to continue to manage and utilize marine resources in a sustainable manner will be crucial for future profitable Norwegian business activity in the ocean. Furthermore, there will be a need at all times to have an updated regulatory framework and good framework conditions, closer cooperation across sectors, enhanced knowledge and expertise about the sea, development of new technologies and access to global markets.

UN Sustainability Goals ambition is that the goals will be achieved by 2030 at the latest. The sustainability targets constitute a holistic objective, and many of the sustainability goals are important for the marine industries. Sea issues are given special place in the main objective 14 to preserve and use marine and marine resources in a way that promotes sustainable development. The sustainability goal illustrates a strengthened international support for the importance of the ocean. Sustainability Objective 14’s sub-objectives emphasize sustainable management, providing maritime knowledge, preserving at least 10 percent of coastal and marine areas, avoiding overfishing, combating illegal fishing, reducing pollution, marine littering, and microplastic dispersal. Preventing and reducing pollution, marine littering and spreading of microplastics has been identified as an important challenge, and this is also a prerequisite for continued safe and healthy seafood.

Close cooperation and transfer of knowledge have been important for the development of the Norwegian blue industries. There may be great potential for new jobs and value creation in increasing the transfer of ideas and technology between the ocean industries. The knowledge and competence needs are partly specific to the individual industry, but there are also common challenges and potential for collaboration and transfer of expertise across. New industries, such as renewable ocean energy, mineral extraction on the seabed and harvesting biomarine resources at a lower trophic level, require considerable knowledge and innovation. mapped out the potential for synergies between the ocean industries. There is a great potential for sustainable value creation in systematising and increasing the transfer of ideas and technology between the established blue industries, and from established to new industries exploiting resources in, on and under the sea. The possibilities are assumed to be particularly large for transferring offshore technology to the other offshore industries, and especially for aquaculture.

Technological and knowledge development opens up new business opportunities, and the commercial interests associated with the use of the ocean are growing. At the same time, the marine environment is threatened by climate change, pollution and littering. A necessary foundation for future value creation and sustainable growth is therefore increased knowledge about the connections in the sea, biological diversity and the function and robustness of ecosystems. Increased business activity in the sea increases the need for better knowledge of how the different industries affect each other and the overall impact on the ecosystems. Despite considerable knowledge in marine ecosystem research and management, there is still much we do not know about our marine areas. The Government need to therefore strengthen the knowledge base on marine ecosystems and how these change as a result of increased human activity, climate change and pollution. Improved measurement technology and increased access to high-resolution marine and environmental data today opens up completely new opportunities for monitoring the state of the oceans. Digitization allows for faster data transfer and data interpretation. The Government will streamline its work on data capture through, among other things, the use of new technology and cooperation nationally and internationally. Data collected should be made available to users more quickly.

A total of twelve of the clusters in the Norwegian Innovation Cluster program have their core business associated with the ocean. Global Centers of Expertise Clusters (GCE) Blue Maritime and Subsea (now so called GCE Ocean Technology) are the most mature, largest and prominent, play an important role. These clusters have already taken an active role in contributing to value creation for their members companies through technology and skills transfer, providing new applications and synergies. Cooperation in the clusters also contributes to increased internationalization. The clusters in the Norwegian Innovation Clusters program play a key role in contributing to increased interaction between the blue industries. Cooperation in the clusters also contributes to increased internationalization and the exchange of knowledge and experience between the various members. The Government will ask that the clusters, in cooperation with the agency and the Team Norway organization, contribute to the work to identify the most important markets international (as Brazil), assist in creating good meeting places for experience exchange and support the work of Invest in Norway  in the specific regions.

The Norwegian authorities conduct active and regular government bilateral dialogue with several countries where the Norwegian blue industries have significant interests and investments. Norway currently has bilateral economic commissions with a number of countries, including important port nations such as Brazil. Through bilateral government dialogues, everything is discussed from regulatory cooperation to market access issues. The collaboration helps to strengthen trade and to solve specific problems that Norwegian companies encounter in the international markets. The Government will further develop existing bilateral government dialogues, and involve the business community to identify new partner countries for closer cooperation on the maritime industry’s framework conditions. The Government, in cooperation with actors from the blue industry, wish look at possible ways to promote sustainable business development. “Global Ocean Initiative” is an input from Norwegian industry that seeks to highlight the Norwegian experience of reconciling the need for protection with sustainable growth. The initiative will be a tool for promoting Norwegian views and expertise, and thus contribute to strengthening Norway’s role as an active premise provider for sustainable business development in the ocean.

The future of oil and gas industry need new operating models to achieve further cost efficiencies, in order to meet the challenges related to cost inflation and new contracts may also need new types of collaboration. 

A tight focus on efficiency has been the status quo across the oil and gas industry ever since the downturn in 2014. It comes as little surprise, then, that much of the industry’s research and development (R&D) spend is focused on technologies to enhance the efficiency of new projects or existing operations – and digitalization.

Digitalization is comfortably the leading R&D priority for the oil and gas industry in the next decade. The rapidly maturing state of digitalization in oil and gas is accompanied by an increasing awareness of the extent to which organizations become dependent on their data. This makes it imperative for firms to be able to trust the quality of their data, while also having the ability to control data sharing across and outside the business, if they can get the best possible outcomes from digital investments. The top three priorities within the oil industry’s agenda are: data sharing, integration, and access the digital information. Data is very important, and investment to access reliable and diverse data is crucial. One of the future challenges is to integrate all the core data into a single shared digital platform, the data need to be standardized and structured, and the data quality guaranteed and fully shared in real time. Digitalization has the potential to make collaboration easier.  The BDA and the arctic.web are good examples of succesfull network partneships in Brazil and  Norway.

The oil and gas industry engage a diverse set of opportunities and challenges. As in recent years, political, legal and regulatory forces are likely to continue to make a large part of this system. To achieve our goals, as companies and nations, strategies to access the deep-sea and understand future climate change need to be based over a long-term stakeholder engagement. 

The events in Brazil and Norway, has been demonstrating the importance of petroleum as an “ecosystem industry” which produce innovation with multiple industries and technologies. Collaborating is important for innovation, and Research&Development projects are essential to bring the dynamic for the bilateral relationship between Norway and Brazil. The deep-sea technologies are becoming faster and cheaper and digitalization is delivering value for the entire chain of the energy industry.

The DSEMC network project ambition is to bring together the science and the industries, to achieve balance of economy and conservation. The network shall create together with the key partners strategy and planning to new business and better marine conservation in Norway and in Brazil. Now is he moment to introduce innovative solutions with the digital technologies to monitor the environment and to strengthen the knowledge of the deep-sea.
