3. Still testing out new ideas!
THE FOUNDER Odd Egil Solheim
Still testing out new ideas!
’86 – ’91 : Glommen Skog AS oppretter et datterselskap med navnet Kambi AS
: Datterselskapet Kambi AS (org. nr: ), ble innfusjonert i Glommen Skog AS. Samtidig endret Glommen Skog AS navn til Kambi AS, og fisjonerte i 2 selskaper: Kambi AS (1/5) og Glommen Fond AS (4/5). (Glommen Fond AS ble formelt stiftt ). Kambi AS var en videreføring av det opprinnelige Glommen Skog AS.
juli-1992: Petrol Holding AS kjøper Glommen skogeierforeningens aksjepost i Kambi AS. I tillegg tilbyr Petrol Holding AS de øvrige aksjonærene i Kambi AS å kjøpe deres andel i Kambi AS.
: Kambi AS endrer navn til Cambi AS.
: Cambi AS overdras fra Petrol Holding AS til Cambi Holding AS. (Cambi Holding AS ble stiftet av Petrol Holding AS). Overføringen skjer ihht. forskriften om konserninterne overføringer.
: Cambi Holding AS endres til Cambi Holding ASA
Utvikling i aksjekapitalen til Cambi AS ( )
Dette må editeres!! Olle så mye tall etc, men mer den morsomme historien om hvordan OE ”fant opp” Cambi THP. 
: Stiftet av Glommen Skogeierforening ved tegning av 500 aksjer á 100,-. Total aksjekapital på NOK ble fullt innbetalt i kontanter.
1986 / 1987: Rettet emisjon (når?). Privat plassering (når?). Endring av pålydene (100,- til 20,-)?
: Aksjekapitalen splittes i en fisjonen, hvorav Kambi AS får 1/5 som tilsvarer NOK , fordelt på aksjer pålydende NOK 20,-.
: Rettet emisjon, hvor Cambi Holding AS tegner seg for aksjer à NOK 20,-. Totalt betalte Cambi Holding AS inn NOK Aksjekapitalen økte med NOK til NOK , og det overskytende var overkurs på NOK

4. CAMBI’S BUSINESS AREAS
Biosolids:
Plants for enhanced biogas production from municipal & industrial sludge
Biowaste:
Plants for biogas from source-separated organic waste
Biorenewables:
Biogas production from organic residues
Ligno-cellulosic biomass pre-treatment for bio-ethanol & biogas
Operations:
Cambi Operations provides support and operation services to
maximize plant performance
Established in Offices in Norway, Denmark, UK, and USA
Global industry leader in our segment (advanced biogas production from sludge and biowaste) with approx 23 plants worldwide and 3 plants under construction
Treatment capacity for sludge and biowaste equivalent to 17 million people
Treament capacity of 488,000 metric tons of DS/year
Production capacity 1,200 GWh thermal energy and 485 GWh electrical energy
Green energy production replaces 485,000 tonnes of fossile CO2 emissions. Avoidance of methane emissions from landfills, less transport, etc. comes in addition.

(First prototype)

6. CAMBI THP PROCESS

7. BIOGAS PRODUCTION “
The Dublin THP digestion plant ... can produce 3.5m³/day of biogas per m³ of digester capacity, which is 350% of the normal situation.”
Dublin, Ireland
May reach up to 100% more biogas production than conventional technology(most cases).
We have to do a spesific analysis on your situation to confirm that this will be the case here.

8. CAMBI SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCES CARBON FOOTPRINT
”… installation of anaerobic digestion … significantly reduces carbon foot print, especially if dewaterability is improved” (Auty and Blake, 2008, Barber, 2009)
“… [The] thermal hydrolysis pretreatment
system at … Davyhulme … will reduce [United Utilities’] carbon footprint by 8% - the equivalent of removing 270,000 cars off the road for 30 years.”, March-April 2009, Worldwater
Why does Cambi reduce carbon footprint? Quote?

9. Benefits from the Cambi process
Higher breakdown of material - produces more biogas
Higher dewaterability – less cake with higher fertilizer value
Higher digester load – smaller plant – smaller investment
Sterilized sludge – can be spread on farmland

15. Experience from cooperation with Lithuanian companies
Local company (RIFAS) is used for detailed design and installation of Control system and MCC.
Experience so far is good. (We do not know the conclusion until the plant has started.)
Communication might sometimes be challenging due to missing English skills among some of the employees.
Local site representative hired through company Evikta
Evikta was engaged by WTE for construction application process
Experience is good
He is fluent in Lithuanian and English
Knowledge about local regulations
Personal/company authorisation is required for approval of installation work
Evikta is also used for minor mechanical modifications. Experience is good with respect to quality and costs.

16. Experience from cooperation with Innovation Norway
Innovation Norway was used for engaging the site representative
Suggested potential companies that could offer the site representative service in addition to evaluation of companies suggested by Cambi.
Prepared an evaluation of potential candidates
Support during interwiev
Support for writing the contract

17. Challenges related to the project in Vilnius
Process for construction application
Detailed engineering (Technical design) had to be completed for construction application.
A Lithuanian company (Evikta) prepared the documentation for the application.
5 months approval period for evaluation of the application for Litianianian authorities was indcated at project start.
The evaluation period was extended due to internal processes inside Lithuanian authorities

18. Future possibilities
Sludge centers
Biowaste plants
Farm residuals
