<p>AF Gruppen ASA, together with Multiconsult, DOF, Semar, and NTNU, has secured NOK 11 million in funding to advance its concrete foundation technology for offshore wind projects. The funding will support the BetongVIND project, aimed at developing and testing industrial-scale production methods for gravity-based concrete foundations with a significantly reduced carbon footprint. The initiative seeks to enable standardized, cost-efficient production that could cut CO₂ emissions by up to 80 percent compared to current solutions. Supported by the Research Council of Norway, the project has a total budget exceeding NOK 20 million and will start in January 2026, involving collaboration across engineering, construction, offshore operations, and research sectors.
