SINTEF Ocean projects

Innovative floating offshore wind energy. Qualification of innovative floating substructures for 10MW wind turbines and water depths greater than 50m.

AQUAEXCEL2020 aims to offer services tailored to the needs of the European aquaculture community and support and conduct world-class aquaculture research.

The red algae Dulse is demanded for use in food and in this project we will adjust cultivation methods for this nutritious and tasty seaweed species.

The primary objective of HDwave is to improve the knowledge of future wave climate and to assess the impact of future changes on maritime infrastructure.

SINTEF has started at cooperation with the company EVOLYS AS where the aim is to define the optimal light environment for microalgae production with focus on high value components like astaxanthin.

Different species of microalgae have different content of lipids and pigments. The species used in this study will be selected based on their chemical composition, to produce raw material for lotions and nutraceuticals for human consumption.

SINTEF is involved in projects concerning novel concepts and innovative solutions for ocean energy, such as DeepWind and FAROFF, supported by the European Union and the Research Council of Norway.

To create innovations securing sustainability and competitiveness of the maritime transport sector. By developing new knowledge, methods and technologies and educating students.

As the extent of petroleum activities and the extraction of other resources in the Arctic increases, shipping can expect to face new challenges.
