WHO we are

Based in Oslo, Norway with global operations, ECOnnect Energy is redefining energy infrastructure. With proprietary floating and low-impact solutions, ECOnnect Energy seamlessly connects vessels, terminals, and productions areas more quickly and easily than traditional piers, quays and jetties.

ECOnnect Energy has developed the IQuay™ system to offer a more efficient and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional energy transfer methods. This innovative technology allows for the transfer of LNG, renewable fuels, and CO2 without the need for fixed infrastrucutre, reducing both costs and environmental impact.
