About us

Flocean is a Norwegian company that makes freshwater deep in the sea. Our plants stand on the seabed at 450 metres or deeper. Down there, the pressure of the ocean does much of the work. Flocean One, our first plant, has supplied freshwater off Mongstad since summer 2026.

Flocean One

In operation since summer 2026
A world first at industrial scale

Flocean One was lowered to 500 metres off Mongstad on Norway's west coast in summer 2026. It has produced freshwater every day since, and pumped it ashore through a pipeline.
