When the temperature drops to -20°C, we electric car owners quickly notice it on our wallets. But is it just a matter of driving with the heat on full blast? And what can we do to save the battery as much as possible?
As demand for data centres grows, a new project will explore how they can be developed with lower peak power demand, better heat recovery, smarter grid integration and reduced impact on the environment.
Researchers have developed a solar cell system that uses mirrors to concentrate solar energy. In addition to electricity, it produces heat for a plant that will capture carbon from industrial emissions.
Hybrid cars have been successful. Now the aviation industry is following suit and testing out the combination of electricity and fuel.
Each year, hundreds of rescue missions are conducted along the coasts of Norway and Denmark. Under challenging conditions, both volunteers and professional rescue crews work to save humans lives and equipment.
Building a port on land takes time. On water, the job can be done quickly. Hagbart Skage Alsos and his research colleagues at SINTEF are investigating how to build floating ports.
Nurses are increasingly overloaded. This is especially true in nursing homes and in home care, as shown by the results of the latest nursing survey.
One of Norway’s largest production kitchens makes 2500 meals a day. The focus on food waste, simple tools and identifying deviations shows that it is possible to save 300 meals a month through donations.
Climate change is increasing the risk of flooding and other extreme events across Norway, placing greater emphasis on climate adaptation measures that deliver the highest socio-economic benefit.
European coastal areas are under increasing pressure. Researchers are investigating ways to reverse this trend and help communities adapt to climate change.
UNCDF and SINTEF join forces to explore how bold concepts can become practical solutions – across technology, policy, finance, and collaboration.
The new company SINTEF Ocean Software is being established to consolidate and focus SINTEF Ocean’s expertise with the simulation and analysis tool SIMA, for maritime and floating structures.
SINTEF and NIVA deliver important contributions to a new UN panel ready to tackle challenges regarding chemicals, waste, and pollution.
A new EU-funded project will support Europe’s energy transition by creating more resilient, decarbonised energy systems by advancing hydrogen electrolysers.
Fishing alone is a dangerous occupation. A new safety alarm could save lives by automatically stopping the boat and alerting the Coastal Radio Service and nearby vessels.
