News for $SBMO (-0,11%) and $MSFT (+0,27%) On may 13 SBM Offshore and Microsoft have signed a global collaboration agreement to develop AI-powered, carbon-free floating power solutions. (Offshore energy generators) In this partnership SBM’s expertise in offshore energy infrastructure will supply Microsoft’s AI and cloud platforms with floating power generation. For reliable, scalable, and clean electricity for industrial and grid use.
The first phase will focus on floating gas-to-power units with carbon capture and storage (CCS) in the UK and Norway, leveraging SBM’s work with Ocean-Power AS. The plan is to use Microsoft’s Copilot, Azure AI Foundry, and Fabric for real-time carbon tracking, predictive maintenance, and asset optimization-boosting efficiency and cutting costs.
This could be a blueprint for global expansion, supporting energy security and decarbonization across Europe, APAC, and the Americas. Bullish for both companies as they tap into the growing clean energy market!
