Oslo Innovation Week 2026
Powering, Pricing, Proving: the innovation stack of the energy transition
On 21 October 2026 ForestSync and the Embassy of Italy in Norway hosted Powering, Pricing, Proving at the Istituto Italiano di Cultura in Oslo, part of the official Oslo Innovation Week programme, with the Italian Trade Agency and the Nordic Carbon Removal Association. Ambassador Andrea Cavallari opened the evening ahead of COP31 in Antalya. Three panels, moderated by Giulia Marzetti, followed the energy transition from power to proof: ocean energy with Equinor, SINTEF Energi, Hydrakraft and RSE; market infrastructure for carbon removal with ForestSync CEO Sean Capon, Removr, Carbon Centric and Advokatfirmaet Thommessen; and the evidence, with Prof. Riccardo Valentini (CMCC, Nature 4.0) and Fondazione Sorella Natura. Sean Capon made the case for building the carbon removal procurement market now, on a public exchange with an open order book and settlement that closes the gap between payment and delivery, rather than in 2031 when the European Union intends to start buying permanent removals at scale. Second year running, Norwegian and Italian innovation in the same room, on the same problem.
