Latest news from SINTEF

A new project led by SINTEF Energy Research, the CCShip project, will collaborate with key research and industrial organizations to explore carbon capture aboard ships.

Researchers have studied the energy consumption of 140 hotels in Norway and Sweden. The use of CO₂ heat pumps could cut energy consumption in these hotels by about 60 per cent.

CO₂ emissions are difficult to avoid in several industrial processes, but with CCS technology these emissions can be removed. SINTEF and Aker Carbon Capture (ACC) are now continuing their collaboration to deliver the CO₂ capture solutions of the...

The Covid-19 pandemic has forced companies to change the way they organise their day-to-day activities. Many people find working from home no problem at all. According to researchers, there is little to suggest that these changes will be reversed...

CO₂ emissions equivalent to what 2,200 cars produce in a year can be turned into new products using biotechnology. In the EU project PyroCO2, the greenhouse gas CO₂ will become a profitable business, at the same time the project will contribute to...

Erna Solberg, the Prime Minister of Norway, will open the 11th Trondheim CCS Conference (TCCS-11) set to take place June 22-23, 2021. The international conference on carbon capture, transport, utilization, and storage technologies (CCS) presents the...

SINTEF Ocean has joined forces with the European Space Organisation (ESA). Together we will contribute to the development of safe and effective autonomous maritime transport and operations, increased security at sea and improved coastal monitoring.

Brussels/Trondheim, 4 mai 2021 – A new study carried out by SINTEF and European partners shows that all hydrogen technologies will play an important role in Europe reaching its zero emissions goals by 2050. The study also shows that to reach these...

Only 44 Young Research Talents in all of Norway were awarded FRIPRO scholarships. Senior Researcher Eleni Kelasidi of SINTEF Ocean was one of them. Now she is looking forward to diving into a world where fish and underwater robots happily coexist.

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.

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...

A three-year European Space Agency study will look at the potential of satellite based monitoring technologies in reducing risks posed by geohazards.

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.

Dr. Viktoria Stray and Dr. Nils Brede Moe at SINTEF have been researching distributed teams for over ten years, and recently won an award for Best Paper in the Journal of Systems and Software. Here they share their best tips for communication and...

Research scientists in Norway recently set out on a scientific cruise in the Trondheim fjord to collect water samples and specimens of marine species.  What they stumbled over was quite different from what they were looking for.
