A collaboration between SINTEF and MKK led to two new solutions for environmentally friendly high temperature cooling systems, that are used in smelters. The science-industry project developed concepts based on two refrigerants that are more...
Norwegian supplier of sustainable temperature and energy solutions PTG is joining research project Snow for the Future. This is the project's first industry partner.
Researchers working with industrial partners have developed the world’s first heat pump producing temperatures of up to 180 degrees celcius. Such record high temperatures will enable one fifth of European industry to reduce its energy consumption by...
The industrial sector produces large amounts of heat that goes to waste – heat that could be used to dry tons of kelp to store CO2, or grow subtropical crops at higher latitudes.
MKK (Mosjøen Kulde og Klimaservice) specialises in providing high temperature air conditioning systems that operate in extreme conditions, like the smelting industry. These systems are built to tolerate ambient temperatures of up to 90°C. MKK will...
Industrial processes are currently responsible for 20 % of total greenhouse gas emissions in Europe. In order to stay within the 1.5°C scenario of the Paris Climate Agreement, measures to reduce these greenhouse gas emissions from industry are...
Carbon Dioxide is so often cast as the villain in climate change debates. Yet that very same substance along with other natural working fluids has the potential to cut more emissions than any other climate change mitigation technology. Now HighEFF is...
“Energy efficiency is the one research action that contributes to all 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. It reduces emissions, increases efficiency and provides surplus energy for other uses. The product that comes out of the processes...
The LowEmission research Centre is well underway and we are all working towards a common goal – zero emission oil and gas production on the Norwegian Continental Shelf (NCS) by 2050.
Nils Røkke is the Chairman of the European Energy Research Alliance (EERA). This is his opening speech for the EERA 10-year anniversary. Last year, when we started to think about the EERA 10-year anniversary, the first question was whether to have...
The annual report for FME HighEFF is now ready.
Trondheim: Norwegian researchers believe that it will be possible to make environmentally-friendly snow at above-zero temperatures. Now they have the backing of Europe and the skiing industry in their bid to save the sport from climate change.
SINTEF’s climate change ambassador Nils Røkke is on his way to Brussels looking forward to a new job and new assignments. He has been appointed as Chair of the European Energy Research Alliance (EERA). This in a world in which the threats posed by...
How does technology change people, and how do people change in response to technology? Sixteen people volunteered to live in a high-tech, zero-emission house to help researchers answer those exact questions.
For the first time, a major European research infrastructure project is being led by a country from outside the EU.
