development and holds a degree in Chemical and Process Engineering from the
University of Surrey, UK, and an MBA from Griffith University in Australia.

"I thank Odd Geir Lademo for his dedicated contribution to building a world
leading carbon capture platform. This transition provides an opportunity to
further conclude on the long term strategy, organizational setup and cost base
for CAPTURED in a changing market environment. This includes a disciplined
approach to capital allocation and project timing. I look forward to working
with Lars Strøm and the team and contributing to the company’s continued
development" says Ole R. Jørstad, Chairman of the board of CAPTURED AS.
