Energy use

Research into energy efficiency has been singled out as the issue that must make the greatest contribution towards the reduction of energy-related CO2 emissions. Sintef’s Energy Efficiency department is working on technology developments in the field of efficient energy use in industry and buildings.

Qualifications

We combine theoretical analyses, studies and experimental work in our laboratories with advanced pilot projects and test equipment. We also work under real conditions in industry and elsewhere.

Our research into food technology often brings us into contact with this industry, where we have been able to develop completely new energy-efficient production lines.

Projects

SINTEF is heading the largest Norwegian project conducting research into industrial energy efficiency (CREATIV), and is responsible for the development of technical installations for energy efficient buildings at the ZEB (Zero Emissions Buildings) research centre.
