• Honoured in Brussels for exploiting unutilised energy sensation
  A Nobel Prize was awarded when "high-temperature superconductors" were discovered in 1986. Now the world has at last found an application for lossless conductors, thanks to two Norwegians who received a European "Innovation Oscar" on Wednesday for their pioneering work. (2012-12-15)

• Studying a new water method for water allocation 
  Research scientists from SINTEF and Bioforsk have been in India assisting Indians with their know-how about the allocation of scarce water resources. The Building Block Methododology (BBM) is a new approach in allocating water between competing interests in which the Indians have begun to take a major interest. (2011-10-14)
• Future strategies for European environmental and energy challenges
  Meeting the 20 per cent renewable energy target will require massive changes in the European community. In the EU project SUSPLAN research scientists have developed appropriate strategies up to 2050. The results are now to be presented in Brussels, Belgium (2011-10-03)
• Carbon capture and storage heavyweights form alliance
  The research institutes SINTEF in Norway, TNO in the Netherlands and IFP Energies nouvelles (IFPEN) in France are joining forces in the newly established “Tri4CCS Alliance”, which aims to make the capture, transport and storage of CO₂ (CCS) safer and more cost-effective. (2011-06-16)

• New President at SINTEF Energy Research (2010-12-02)
  Research Director Inge R. Gran (43) has been appointed President at SINTEF Energy Research and will take up his post on 1 January 2011.
  
  Gran has been employed at SINTEF Energy Research since 1996. He received his qualifications as a civil engineer in 1990 from the Mechanical Engineering Department at the former Norwegian Institute of Technology (NTH), where he went on to complete his Ph.D. in 1994. He then worked for two years at Sandia National Laboratories in California, funded by a grant from the Research Council of Norway, before returning home to start at Gløshaugen.
  
  In 1999, Gran was appointed Research Director at the Department of Thermal Energy, and assumed responsibility for a major part of the institute’s mechanical engineering activities following a departmental merger four years later. During the last year, Gran has also been Research Director at the Electrical Power Engineering Department, and is thus familiar with the greater part of the organisation.
  
  “I’m looking forward to my new role, where I will have even greater opportunities to make a positive contribution”, says Gran. “Not least in connection with our major and long-term projects where we will be able to draw on the broad scope of technical resources available to us at SINTEF”.
  
  Inge Gran will replace Sverre Aam who is moving to an advisory post.

• CO₂ processing is a term that covers the capture of CO₂ from industrial processes as well as the transport and sequestration of CO₂ in rock structures.

SINTEF is one of the few R&D institutions that can work in all aspects of the CO₂ chain. Some of our pioneering projects in the field were started in 1987 to 1988. However a real boost to our research came in 2000 when the Research Council of Norway put such research high on the political agenda and implemented strategic measures to develop world-class expertise. ...
