Biodiversity
Every day, biodiversity – our strongest natural defense against climate change, is threatened by different human activities. At the same time, we need to drive innovation further to develop new solutions to mitigate for climate change.
Climate and environment
SINTEF develops technological and industrial solutions to address global environmental and climate challenges
SINTEF is Norway's largest research institute for energy and climate technology. New knowledge and technology are crucial for the transition to a sustainable society. We have leading expertise and laboratories for environmentally friendly buildings, renewable energy, energy efficiency, oil pollution control, clean water, adaptation to climate change and the capture, transport and storage of CO2.
Research areas within climate and environment
CCS
Carbon Capture, Transport & Storage (CCS) is a series of technologies and processes designed to help mitigate climate change. Capturing waste CO2 from industrial processes, transporting it in concentrated form and injecting it deep underground.
Energy efficiency in the industry
The greenest energy is the type you never use
Hydrogen
As a fuel, hydrogen is powerful enough to launch NASA’s space shuttles. It is also extremely environmentally friendly, as the only emission it produces when burned is water.
Renewable energy
SINTEF creates the future’s energy solutions
SmartCities
Our aims are to assist in developing cities that are good to live in, and to promote massive services innovation
Fuel for emission-free transport
We participate in developing future transport systems.
