All the partners in the DemoCLOCK project will work towards the proof of feasibility: the medium-scale demonstration of a 500kW packed bed CLC reactor in the Elcogas company’s Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) power plant in Puertollano...
A project funded by the European Union and led by SINTEF in Norway with ten other European partners aims to demonstrate a cost-effective CO2 capture technology that could herald a new generation of power-generation plants with integrated CO2 capture.
The first forklift trucks in Europe that will run on fuel cells and with hydrogen in their tanks are on the way to the market. No fewer than 30 demonstration units are to be tested, and Norway is among the countries potentially involved in the trials

Industry has estimated that a week of sick-leave costs companies an average of NOK 13,000 in lost production and increased costs.
One of Norway's national centres for research on environmentally friendly technology is being helped by the film industry to show the world why carbon capture and storage (CCS) is important. The result has won widespread praise, not least from the...
Where do the water-pipes and electric cables lie? Could valuable cultural artefacts be hidden here? And how high is the salt concentration on the road today? A georadar can reveal what lies below the surface, providing information that can be...
SINTEF ICT is a world leader in manufacturing integrated 3D radiation sensors.
What will it take to build a floating 10 MW wind-turbine? This is just one of many questions that the European Union’s HiPRWind project aims to answer.SINTEF will work on two of the project’s ten work-packages.
China has already donned the yellow jersey in building first-generation carbon capture and storage (CCS) plants. Now a Norwegian-Chinese “team-tempo” squad has been set up to tackle the next stage.
Uncertainty about potential effects on health is not a sufficient reason for postponing a decision about full-scale scrubbing of CO2 from Norwegian gas-fired power stations until 2016. SINTEF believes that it is possible to deal with these challenges...
SINTEF is a partner in one of the three new national centres for research in environmentally friendly energy (FMEs) which were launched in February. The CenSES virtual research centre will focus on studies and decision-support systems that will...
