Mana accelerates the transition to a fully decarbonized, circular economy by converting non‑recyclable waste into clean energy carriers. By doing so, it cuts emissions from waste incineration and supplies clean energy needed for industry, shipping, and aviation, helping meet Norway’s demand for 50 TWh of low‑carbon power.

Problem
Norwegian waste streams contain large quantities of non‑recyclable material that are currently incinerated, releasing significant CO₂ equivalents and missing the opportunity to capture energy value. At the same time, industry, shipping, and aviation require additional low‑carbon energy to meet national decarbonisation targets.
Solution
Mana develops projects that convert non‑recyclable waste into clean energy carriers such as synthetic fuels or renewable electricity. By applying proprietary conversion technologies, the company captures the chemical energy of waste that would otherwise be burned, thereby avoiding incineration emissions and producing carbon‑neutral fuels. The resulting energy carriers can be integrated into existing industrial, maritime, and aviation fuel supply chains, helping Norway meet its goal of 50 TWh of clean energy annually. Mana collaborates with waste owners, energy producers, and end‑users to create circular value loops that turn waste liabilities into climate‑positive assets.
Target Audience
Primary customers are waste management firms, industrial energy buyers, and maritime or aviation operators seeking low‑carbon fuel alternatives in Norway.
