SINTEF Ocean projects

Open, transparent modelling for the transition to natural refrigerants.

FIT-HORIZONS aims to develop a holistic, intelligent and flexible design tool environment that will accelerate the adoption of multiple decarbonising retrofit technologies for various vessel types.

The BlueNature Centre will develop concrete, research-based solutions for the sustainable use of marine and coastal spaces and natural resources.

Increased use of large floating closed cages by increasing understanding of interactions between fish density, behaviour and hydrodynamics, and assessing failure mechanisms to ensure structural integrity.

We develop systems for the collection of hydroacoustic data in commercial fishery, with processing and analysis methods enabling use in stock assessment and precision fishery.

Developing resilient offshore renewable energy systems combining wave, wind and solar power to deliver low-cost clean electricity and support the green transition.

The project aims to provide knowledge about solutions for sludge collection in closed containment systems, with a focus on maintaining safe food production, fish welfare and the external environment.

BlueGreenFood aims to develop sustainable methods to preserve and use seaweed, ensuring stable supply, reducing climate impact, and creating healthy products in circular value chains.

The project aims to transform industrial waste streams, biological rest materials and surplus energy into valuable feed ingredients to reduce Norwayʼs dependence on imported feed raw materials.
