Kathrine has been the driving force in ZEG Power as CEO and founder, and later CCO. During her time as CEO, Kathrine matured and sold ZEG’s first clean hydrogen plant with the proprietary ZEG ICCTM technology. The project, which was officially opened in October 2023, is the world’s first commercial clean hydrogen production plant based on natural gas with integrated carbon capture. Kathrine is now in charge of developing the company’s next project which will produce 25-50t/d of clean hydrogen. She has been a strong voice in the debate around hydrogen in Norway for several years. |
