Study of the potential for reduced greenhouse gas emissions and the transition to a low-emission society through circular economy strategies

Start: 01/01/2020
End: 01/05/2020

In this study SINTEF has focuses on circular economic opportunities that are expected to have a large potential for reducing the climate gas emissions associated with Norwegian consumption and production. Over a dozen circular strategies were selected and analysed as case studies with both the consumer perspective and the industry perspectives and their potential impact on reduction of green house gas emissions investigated. The study found that implementing the studied strategies could have a significant effect on reducing Norwegian greenhouse gas emissions, both within Norway and outside of Norway as Norwegian consumption is heavily dependent on global production and supply chains.

Alternative Railway Electrification in Norway

Start: 31/01/2019
End: 15/10/2019

As many European countries, Norway has still a significant length of non-electrified railways. New technologies like hydrogen fuel cells and batteries can be a better option than expensive catenary lines.

SiteCast

Start: 2018
End: 2018

The main theme of the SiteCast project is "increased competitiveness for in-situ casting of concrete constructions".

Development of materials and processes for 3D-printing of components for fire stopping vents

Start: 2017
End: 2019

The objective of this project is to develop an intumescent material and a corresponding production process for automated industrial production of components for a patented type of fire stopping vents for buildings.

Sharing Neighbourhoods

Start: 2017
End: 2020

The vision of Sharing Neighbourhoods is digitalization towards a socially inclusive and caring neighbourhood. We will investigate the effects of digital collaborative sharing platforms on the social interactions in neighbourhoods, and the new economic models that these platforms enable in the neighbourhoods.

TheONE - design of wood burning stoves

Start: 2017
End: 2019

The aim of the project is to develop a standardized wood stove combustion chamber for each industry partner, ultra-flexible and capable of complete and clean combustion independently of the wood stove exterior design, to significantly save development time and total production costs for manufacturers.

MICROFIBRE: Evaluating the fate, effects and mitigation measures for microplastic fibre pollution in aquatic environments

Start: 01/02/2017
End: 01/02/2019

To understand the environmental behaviour and impacts of microplastic fibres (MPFs) in order to develop a decision support framework that enables garment manufacturers to make environmentally informed choices in their material selection.

FME II - ZEN

Start: 2017
End: 2024

- Research Centre on Zero Emission Neighbourhoods (ZEN) in Smart Cities

SoFEM - Solar Fuelled Electric Maritime Mobility

Start: 2017
End: 2019

The project "Solar Fuelled Electric Maritime Mobility" by SINTEF seeks to demonstrate the feasibility and the social, economic and environmental benefits of solar-fuelled electric boat transport in Tunisia and the wider region.
