Electrochemical energy conversion and system solutions

Virtual-FCS announces the third release of its open-source platform for designing hybrid fuel cell and battery systems.

The project that culminated in July 2021 with Europe's largest PEM electrolyser for hydrogen production being put in operation has been given the Best Outreach Award by Fuel Cells & Hydrogen Joint Undertaking (FCH JU) during the EU Hydrogen Week.

The REFHYNE II consortium is pleased to announce that we have been awarded a grant of €32.4m by CINEA (the European Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency) for the development of a 100 MW electrolyser to be sited at Shell’s Energy...

The REFHYNE project is about to complete the construction of Europe's largest PEM electrolyser. The starting signal to produce green hydrogen on an industrial scale will be given on July 2 2021.

There is a global knowledge race in all parts of the value chain related to the production, use and reuse of batteries. The independent Norwegian research institute SINTEF is now investing NOK 45 million (4.5 million Euro) in a laboratory for the...

New software now being developed as part of an EU-funded project will ease the roll-out of hydrogen-powered haulage vehicles, ships and trains when a “new Europe” starts to take shape once the Covid-19 crisis is behind us.

With ZeroKyst, we will strengthen Norwegian value creation and export through green growth. The project will demonstrate that both new and existing vessels in the seafood industry can be emission free and contribute to decreasing emissions from...

The project aims at better understanding of charge, mass and heat transports in new generation PEM fuel cells MEA for automotive applications.

The main aim of the VIRTUAL-FCS project is to make the design process of hybrid fuel cell and battery systems easier, cheaper and quicker.

There are significant resources of wind power in areas where few people live, and which cannot be exploited due to a weak grid. A solution is to produce hydrogen and export it.

Giantleap aims to increase lifetime and reliability of fuel cells in buses

Current barriers to mass implementation of hydrogen in transport arise from European Directive 2014/94/EU and International organisation of legal metrology (OIML) recommendations that must be met by all European hydrogen refuelling stations (HRS...

Hydrogen, the most abundant chemical substance in the universe, may, as an energy carrier hold the key to the inevitable and needed transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy. Together with Norway's important role as a major energy provider in...

HyLAW stands for Hydrogen Law and removal of legal barriers to the deployment of fuel cells and hydrogen applications. It is a flagship project aimed at boosting the market uptake of hydrogen and fuel cell technologies providing market developers...

SINTE offers full range of competence in the development and characterization of materials and components for electrolysis technology. Electrolysis is the process of converting water to oxygen and hydrogen using electricity. Small scale electrolysers...

SINTEF offers broad knowledge in development and characterization of materials and components for fuel cell technology. Fuel cells represent one of the most effective technologies for converting chemical energy (e.g. hydrogen) into electricity. We...

Hydrogen will be an important supplement to electricity as an energy carrier in future sustainable energy systems. In addition to being fuel for the transport sector, hydrogen will contribute to increased utilization of renewable energy sources. The...

In alignment with Europe's Green Deal for 2050 and SINTEF's commitment towards technology for a better society, we are also developing alternate battery technologies that are safe, low cost, and sustainable with minimal stress on the environment.

We have long experience in developing decision support systems for an optimal resource usage in industry and government administration. This can be decision support both on operational and on strategic level.

Our work contributes to a future green, sustainable and modern energy system. We develop and apply models for handling uncertainty, analysing profitability, emissions, socio-economic and environmental effects. The models and analyses are used by both...

The mechanical properties of materials are affected in the presence of hydrogen and may cause degradation in for of so-called hydrogen embrittlement. In areas like hydrogen storage and transport, it is therefore important to contain the harmful...

The high temperature hydrogen and fuel cell lab is equipped to test fuel cells and electrolysers operating up to 1100 °C and up to 10 bar.
