Lab for testing membranes, fuel cells and electrolysers
In the lab in Oslo we can test membranes, fuel cells and electrolysers under real operating conditions. Experiments can be carried out at pressures up to 30 bars and temperatures up to 1100°C.
Laboratories
All our labs have designated contact persons. SINTEF builds and operates important research infrastructure and we have over 100 laboratories that form the basis for our research. From zero-emission buildings, to ocean basins, nano, CO2, electrical engineering and full-scale aquaculture sites - world-leading laboratories, from ocean space to outer space.
