Shecco Technology
Shecco Technology has financed the Norwegian participation in IEA HPP Annex 28. Shecco represents an energy efficient and environmentally friendly heating and cooling technology using carbon dioxide (CO2, R744) as the working fluid. Shecco Technology was initiated and patented by the late professor Gustav Lorentzen in 1989 at SINTEF and the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU). In 1990 Norsk Hydro ASA acquired all commercial rights to Shecco Technology, but the cooperation with SINTEF and NTNU remains close. Shecco Technology is a part of Norsk Hydro ASA.
