All you need to know about saving a life out in the cold
Why are cold temperatures so dangerous if you have an accident? And why is it that cold temperatures enable some patients to survive without permanent harm?

150 hydrogen-powered trucks ready to roll on European roads
Haulage truck and fuel manufacturers have joined forces with researchers to make heavy transport across Europe more climate-friendly. And all thanks to having SINTEF ‘behind the wheel’.

There are easier ways of integrating solar power into the energy system
We need the electricity generated by solar panels in order to meet our climate change mitigation targets. But solar power must be integrated rationally and fairly – something that can only be achieved with effective regulation.
International award for solid research collaboration with the industry
Decisions based on research are key to success in business. Now, SINTEF researchers are hailed as world leaders for their work in helping leaders in the right direction.
We know that carbon capture from the atmosphere is possible. But how do we get there?
Direct Air Capture (DAC) technologies offer new opportunities for getting closer to our climate change mitigation targets. However, we still have a long way to go before DAC can be fully rolled out as a mitigation measure.

When will we see a ‘Spotify’ for spare parts?
Vessel components are being transported all around the world when just a simple datafile would suffice.
Carbon capture using sunlight and mirrors
Researchers are planning a solar energy plant that will capture ‘concentrated sunlight’ using mirrors. The plant will also be distinctive because it will generate both electricity and heat, which can be used to capture carbon dioxide.
Snow-repelling solar cell panels could boost generation in Norway
Norway has seen an increase in solar power capacity in recent years, but in winter solar panels face a big problem: snow. Researchers modelled how much extra electricity could be generated if solar panel surfaces were designed to repel snow and ice.
Floating offshore wind: Cost reductions will come with deployment
The costs overview for floating offshore wind will change as installation volume increases, says John Olav Giæver Tande, Chief Scientist at SINTEF and director of the FME NorthWind research centre.
Children and young people in care are critical of remote therapy
Are remote video consultations appropriate for treating children and young people under the care of the child welfare services? Therapists recognise a number of benefits, but most young people are critical of webcam-based therapy.
Must we sacrifice nature to mitigate climate change?
The magnets in wind turbines come from China, and the materials in our electric car batteries are for the most part sourced from Congo. Today, key minerals and metals are being transported to Europe from politically unstable countries far away. Is it...
Cultivating salad plants that can be grown on the Moon
NASA has finished its planning and is ready to go. Humans will soon be returning to the Moon – this time in a manned base. But, if this project is to succeed, astronauts must be able to grow their own food. Norwegian researchers are in the process of...
SINTEF meets with the Mexican Ambassador to Norway
On 20 April 2023, SINTEF was invited to give a presentation to the Mexican Ambassador to Norway Ulises Canchola at Future Innovations’ (FI) offices in Trondheim.
Unlocking the potential of biofuels production in Europe
The EU project REFOLUTION aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from aircraft and ships by developing advanced and cost-effective biofuels.
Researchers confirm that Johannes Høsflot Klæbo is the perfect skier for mass start races
What we are seeing on our TV screens has now been confirmed by science. Johannes Høsflot Klæbo ticks all the boxes defined by researchers looking for the most important factors needed for success in mass start cross-country ski racing.
