Latest news from SINTEF

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.

Europe’s largest project for zero-emission, hydrogen-based heavy-duty transport is strengthening its collaboration to deploy 125 hydrogen-powered trucks across six European countries. The first trucks are expected to be in operational use in 2026.

Wouldn’t it be great if you could just take a picture of yourself with your mobile phone and sew your own clothes – in exactly the right size and fit? The solution is on its way.

A recent sustainability study from the ZeroKyst project has examined whether Norwegian fishing vessels can realistically use battery-electric and hydrogen fuel-cell technologies to achieve zero emissions.

To gain more knowledge about how ultra-processed food affects us, we need new research methods, claim researchers. Now they are looking to better understand our intestinal flora.

A small revolution is happening in the fishing industry. Freshly frozen fish can now be thawed in a new way, and that means you will have access to super-fresh food from the sea – even if you live thousands of miles away.

A new tool is helping researchers simulate erosion and climate change, turning data into action.

“That’s the dream,” says researcher Hanne Dalsvåg. If the researchers succeed, in the future you might be able to buy vegetables wrapped in packaging made from waste carrot or potato residues.

Researchers have developed a heat storage unit that takes up less space than a regular hot water tank. It charges when electricity is cheap and releases heat when needed.

Metals from Norway are often praised for their low carbon footprint. But right now, it matters even more that they are produced in a European democracy.

Can we decarbonise hard-to-abate industry without losing competitiveness? SINTEF’s official UNFCCC side event at COP30 explored real-world innovations that can cut emissions while improving energy efficiency.
