???? 據3月25日offshore energy消息：挪威綠色投資公司Saga Pure最近將重點從航運轉向可再生能源，已承諾以私募方式認購3000萬挪威克朗(合350萬美元)的IC Technologies AS (ICT)新股。
????ICT總部位于挪威特隆赫姆，正在開發液態氫和液化天然氣(LNG)的存儲解決方案。
????定向增發之后，Saga將持有該公司約33%的股份。
????“氫價值鏈中的關鍵要素之一是存儲，分配和運輸。液態氫是氫中能量密度最高的形式，但目前液態氫的儲存解決方案并不理想，因為氫會隨著時間逐漸蒸發。” Saga Pure首席執行官Bj?rnSimonsen解釋說。
????ICT已開發出一種新的存儲解決方案并申請了專利，該解決方案涉及主動冷卻，有可能消除這些損失并實現更靈活的儲罐設計。我們很高興成為ICT的股東，并期待隨著技術的進一步發展，董事會能夠積極擁有公司的所有權。”
????ICT致力于開發用于低溫氣體的新型存儲和分配解決方案，該解決方案采用了主動冷卻方法，有可能消除蒸發現象，并實現更靈活的儲罐設計和更高的利用率。
????“我們認為氫是下一個大趨勢，并且相信ICT所開發的技術可以在全球范圍內的氫運輸和存儲中發揮重要作用。該技術還與液態天然氣的儲存和分配高度相關，這一事實也為短期市場創造了機會。”Simonsen總結道。
????作為私募的一部分，Saga Pure已經簽署了一項期權協議，授予Saga公司進一步投資3000萬挪威克朗的權利。此次私募的完成取決于公司近期里程碑的成功。
????本周早些時候，Saga Pure簽署協議，在卑爾根碳解決方案公司(BCS)的私募中認購1500萬挪威克朗。BCS公司開發了一種將二氧化碳轉化為碳納米纖維的技術。Saga在2020年12月宣布對該公司進行初步投資。
????2021年3月23日，Saga Pure還簽署了一項協議，向Heimdall Power投資7500萬挪威克朗，以幫助加速公司的增長戰略。海姆達爾電力公司為高效的電網監控和運營提供數字化解決方案。交易完成后，Saga Pure將持有該公司16.5%的股份。

????Saga Pure acquires stake in liquid hydrogen storage tech firm
????Saga Pure, a Norwegian green investment company that recently switched its focus from shipping to renewables, has committed to subscribe for NOK 30 million ($3.5 million) in a private placement of new shares in IC Technologies AS (ICT).
????based in Trondheim, Norway, ICT is developing a storage solution for liquid hydrogen and liquefied natural gas (LNG).
????Following the private placement, Saga will have a stake of approximately 33% in the company.
????“One of the crucial elements in the hydrogen value chain is storage, distribution and transportation. Liquid hydrogen is the most energy dense form of hydrogen, but current storage solutions for liquid hydrogen are not ideal, as the hydrogen gradually evaporates over time,” Bj?rn Simonsen, CEO of Saga Pure, explained.
????“ICT has developed and patented a new storage solution which involves active cooling, potentially eliminating these losses as well as enabling a more flexible tank design. We’re excited to become a shareholder in ICT, and look forward to an active ownership in the company through the board as the technology is being further developed.”
????ICT focuses on the development of new storage and distribution solutions for cryogenic gases, which employs an active cooling solution, potentially eliminating boil-off, as well as enabling a more flexible tank design, and higher capacity utilization.
????“We see hydrogen as one of the next, big megatrends, and believe the technology being developed by ICT, can play an important role in transport and storage of hydrogen on a global scale. The fact that the technology is also highly relevant for storage and distribution of liquid natural gas, opens up interesting near-term market opportunities as well,” Simonsen concluded.
????As part of the Private Placement, Saga Pure has entered an option agreement which gives Saga the right to further invest NOK 30 million in the company. Completion of the private placement is subject to the success of certain near-term company milestones.
????Earlier this week, Saga Pure entered into agreements to subscribe for NOK 15 million in a private placement in Bergen Carbon Solutions AS (BCS). BCS has developed a technology for converting CO2 to carbon nanofibers. Saga announced an initial investment in the company in December 2020.
????On 23 March 2021, Saga Pure also signed an agreement to invest NOK 75 million in Heimdall Power AS to help accelerate the company’s growth strategy. Heimdall Power provides digital solutions for efficient power grid monitoring and operations. Saga Pure will hold 16,5 percent of the company following the transaction.
