Powering a Sustainable Energy Future with LNG: An Interview with Henrik Martinsson, VP Growth EMEA at Kongsberg Digital

Interview with Henrik Martinsson, Vice President of Growth for EMEA at Kongsberg Digital ‍

The global energy industry is in the midst of a profound transformation—balancing the need for reliable supply with ambitious decarbonisation targets. At Gastech 2025, leaders from across the energy value chain will gather to explore technologies and strategies that will shape this next chapter. We spoke with Henrik Martinsson, Vice President of Growth for EMEA at Kongsberg Digital, about expectations for the event, Europe’s role in the transition, and innovations driving a more sustainable energy future.

 

What are you most looking forward to at Gastech this year?

“I’m excited to connect with leaders who are driving real, measurable change in the industry. Many organisations still struggle with siloed systems, limited data accessibility, and challenges turning insights into operational improvements. At Gastech, we’re looking forward to exchanging ideas on how digital solutions—like digital twins, AI, and contextualised data—can break through those barriers to enable better and faster decisions, safer operations, and more sustainable performance.”

 

How is Kongsberg Digital focusing on the energy transition, and what trends do you see shaping the journey to a lower-carbon future?

“The shift to a lower-carbon future remains a central priority from enforcing stricter emissions regulations to accelerating investment in clean-energy integration.

At Kongsberg Digital, we are helping operators optimise production efficiency, monitor and reduce emissions in real time, and seamlessly integrate renewable energy into existing operations. The insights and best practices developed here can be applied worldwide, accelerating progress toward a more sustainable energy system across all sectors.”

 

Why is Kongsberg Digital at Gastech?

“Gastech is where ideas meet execution—it’s an opportunity to showcase the tangible impact our solutions are delivering today. But it’s equally if not more important for us to listen. By engaging directly with operators, partners, and policymakers, we can ensure our technology continues to evolve in ways that directly address the industry’s most pressing challenges.”

 

What digital trends or technologies are transforming the global energy industry—and what innovations are you bringing to market?

“Across the energy sector, we’re seeing an accelerated shift toward data-driven operations. High-quality, real-time operational data has become essential—not just for performance gains but also for meeting sustainability targets.

AI and advanced analytics are enabling predictive maintenance to detect equipment issues earlier, optimise processes for higher output and lower energy use, and automate complex workflows that once took days to complete. Environmental monitoring is now embedded into operations, ensuring emissions data informs both compliance and strategic decision-making.

Our Kognitwin® platform brings these capabilities together—integrating live data, process models, and AI into a single operational environment such as an LNG facility. This empowers teams to make better, faster decisions while capturing institutional knowledge for the next generation of energy professionals.

The competitive advantage now lies in the ability to collect, contextualise, and act on data. Our role at KDI is to make that capability a reality for operators everywhere.”

 

Closing Thoughts

As Henrik highlights, building a sustainable energy future isn’t about isolated technology—it’s about integrated, data-driven operations that unlock efficiency, safety, and emissions reductions across the value chain. At Gastech 2025, Kongsberg Digital will demonstrate how solutions like Kognitwin® are enabling operators to transform ambition into action.
