Certified Problem Solver

Horisont Energi is a verified publicly listed company (Euronext: HRGI) with significant potential in the clean ammonia and carbon capture (CCS) sectors (Barents Blue project). However, the project submission itself is of extremely low quality, containing demonstrably false claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product' for a pre-revenue industrial project) and generic audience data. The score reflects the high real-world utility and market relevance of the underlying entity, heavily penalized by the lack of verifiable traction evidence in the submission and the fraudulent nature of the user input.

Project Details

Description
Energi Horisont Energi (EURONEXT: HRGI) is a Norwegian carbon tech company that provides clean energy and carbon storage services. Horisont Energi transforms gas into cost-leading clean ammonia and hydrogen, and offers CO2 transportation and storage solutions using proprietary technology, paving the way for a low carbon economy. Horisont Energi was founded in 2019 and is headquartered in Sandnes, Norway. https://www.horisontenergi.no/ About the Barents Blue - project Barents Blue will provide Europe’s first large-scale clean ammonia production. Based on natural gas from the Barents Sea, it will include a world-scale clean ammonia plant located in Finnmark in Northern Norway. Barents Blue will have a production capacity of 3000 tons of ammonia per day once operational. During the production process, carbon will be captured and transported by ship to the Polaris reservoir for storage, with an estimated capacity in excess of 100 million tons below the seabed offshore Finnmark, which is equivalent to twice Norway’s annual greenhouse gas emissions. Currently entering the concept phase, an investment decision for Polaris and the Barents Blue project is expected towards the end of 2022.
