Norwegian startup supports Canadian infrastructure development to strengthen European energy security

Marinvest Energy AS is a supporting partner for the development of Kino Aski LNG, a large-scale Canadian energy infrastructure project designed to supply Europe with competitive, low-carbon LNG.

The project responds to a changing energy landscape in Europe, where disrupted supply routes and geopolitical uncertainty have increased the need for secure and diversified energy sources. By creating a reliable North American supply route, Kino Aski LNG aims to strengthen European energy resilience while giving Canada greater access to the European market and reinforcing its role as a strategic transatlantic energy partner.

Developing infrastructure at this scale requires complex technical decisions and close coordination across a broad group of stakeholders. Engagement is ongoing with First Nations, municipalities, provincial and federal governments, and affected communities.

In this context, the ability to explore alternatives quickly and communicate with them clearly is essential. Stakeholders need to understand what is being proposed, compare alternatives, and provide feedback early so the project team can align around the most promising solutions.

The Infraspace platform has become an important part of this process for Marinvest Energy, helping the team to rapidly explore infrastructure concepts and communicate them in a clear, visual context.

Fast exploration and iteration

With Infraspace, Marinvest Energy can quickly develop, test and refine proposals for new infrastructure in challenging terrain.

Different access road alignments and site locations can be explored directly in the project context, making it easier to compare alternatives and understand their consequences before moving into more detailed work.

This allows Marinvest Energy to get feedback earlier and iterate faster on the most promising solutions.

“Infraspace has been highly valuable for us. By rapidly generating and exploring different infrastructure proposals, the software has helped us uncover new ideas and quickly develop the most promising ones further.”Harald Vartdal
CTO, Marinvest Energy AS

Clear visualization for better understanding

With challenging terrain and significant earthworks to consider, clear 3D visualization is valuable for understanding how infrastructure proposals interact with the landscape.

Infraspace visualizes alternatives directly in the surrounding terrain, together with relevant KPIs, making it easier to compare proposals and understand their implications. This gives the project team a shared visual context for exploring the solution space and discussing trade-offs.

“The ability to quickly create and iterate on designs while generating instant visualizations in Infraspace has significantly improved the project team’s understanding of how the infrastructure interacts with the landscape.”Geir Kjersem
CEO, Marinvest Energy AS

For Marinvest Energy, Infraspace enables the fast exploration of design alternatives within a clear visual context, helping the project team better understand the implications of different solutions and make well-informed decisions early.
