Techouse has partnered with industry giants TotalEnergies, Equinor, and SINTEF Energy Research to develop a high-efficiency, compact once-through steam generator (OTSG) meant to cut fuel consumption significantly across offshore energy installations. This collaboration represents another concerted effort by energy majors to step up their emissions reduction goals, particularly in oil and gas production, as global regulatory pressures intensify to address climate change. The goal is not only to enhance operational efficiency but also to dramatically cut the carbon footprint of offshore extraction activities, which have historically been a significant contributor to global CO2 emissions.
The OTSG technology marks a leap in innovation for steam generation, which plays a crucial role in energy production offshore. Currently, traditional steam generators often rely on excessive fuel and are cumbersome in size, making them inefficient, both in an operational and environmental sense. By creating a compact and lightweight version, Techouse and its partners have designed equipment that fits into the limited structures of offshore platforms, reducing overall load while optimizing fuel inputs. Ultimately, this innovation translates not just into cost savings for firms but also significant strides toward sustainability.
TotalEnergies and Equinor, two leading global energy providers, have long been focused on reshaping their energy portfolios to prioritize renewable energy and low-carbon solutions. Collaborating with SINTEF Energy Research—a renowned research institution for sustainable energy technologies—the project pairs corporate energy with cutting-edge research expertise. The newly developed steam generator will be tested in various offshore environments where efficiency and durability are paramount, potentially setting a new standard for the industry if successful.
The collaboration comes at a time when ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) reporting and sustainable operational strategies are critical for large corporations. Investors and stakeholders alike are scrutinizing climate-related risks on balance sheets, making technologies like Techouse’s OTSG especially attractive. Should this innovation show robust results in reducing CO2 while maintaining high production levels, it could rapidly become an industry standard. This partnership presents a noteworthy example of how major energy players are leveraging technology to achieve greener, more sustainable business models without fully abandoning traditional energy infrastructures yet.
