SUBPRO-Zero  (SUstainable Bridge PROgram towards Zero emissions) is a research center that funds 10-12 PhD students and postdocs in the next 3-years. Its mission is to conduct fundamental and applied research to contribute to net-zero emissions in the offshore industry.

The goals of the centre are to:

• Conduct research that makes a difference and contribute to a sustainable future
• Work together with the industry partners to come up with new and innovative solutions that will contribute to net-zero emissions from the offshore industry 
• Educate PhD candidates, Postdocs and master students who can help the industry speed up the energy transistion and contribute to the green shift

SUBPRO-Zero's activities

The activities focus on the following areas:

• Zero emission to air: Carbon capture, gas treatment and low complexity blue hydrogen production (e.g., for offshore applications)
• Zero emission to water: Water treatment, including re-injection
• Field architecture, optimization, and energy efficiency
• Digitalization: Systems Control, and RAMS (Reliability, Availability, Maintenance and Safety)

The Centre

SUBPRO Zero is funded by Industry and NTNU. The consortium consists of 5 Operator companies (Equinor, Aker BP, Neptune Energy, Total Energies, Vår Energi) and 3 Supplier companies (DNV, Aker Solutions, Kongsberg Digital)

SUBPRO Zero is a continuation of the highly successful SUBPRO Center for Research-based Innovation (SFI) on Subsea Production and Processing (2015-2023) which was funded by industry, NTNU and the Research Council of Norway. As funding for SUBPRO expires in 2023, part of the consortium and new industrial partners decided to continue the collaboration in a follow-up project with a more sustainable focus, SUBPRO-Zero.
