Go first. Joint innovation in the energy industry.

Go first

The growing demand for energy implies a constant need for innovation. Through our involvement with the energy industry, DNV is developing new technologies, methodologies and competences.

DNV has always focused on renewing our knowledge and setting new standards. We issued our first principles for offshore drilling platforms in 1970, and have since issued a large number of new and revised codes. Most of the work is done through joint industry projects. A number of exciting ongoing projects are helping the industry to safely and responsibly improve their business performance. The projects focus on the following segments:

  • Deep and ultra-deepwater field development
  • Floating offshore installations
  • Offshore and onshore pipelines
  • Natural Gas/LNG
  • Refining and petrochemicals
  • Power generation and transmission
  • Carbon capture and storage
  • Wind, wave and tidal energy
  • Arctic operations and technology
  • Operations excellence.

The efforts are executed worldwide and co-ordinated through the leadership team of DNV Energy.

We are excited about our ongoing projects and look forward to continue working with the industry to lead the way. Join us in setting new standards for the energy sector. Let's go first.

Let's join forces

At DNV, we work continuously to improve technologies, methodologies and solutions related to the energy sector. Close collaboration with the industry has been key to the results we have produced.

Take advantage

The sharing of knowledge is a key driver of progress. Making new methodologies and knowledge available to the industry is therefore an important part of DNV’s mission. We do this by launching new services, and we do it by codifying the knowledge in the form of new standards and recommended practices.

Let's get started

New ideas are generated every day by our worldwide staff – inspired by close interaction with key customers and partners. Sometimes it is an extension of current knowledge and methodologies. At other times we come up with totally novel knowledge or applications. In both cases we want to work closely with the industry to develop the ideas further.
