SINTEF Ocean projects

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.

SINTEF has been a participant in the Center for Integrated Operations in the Petroleum Industry (SFI Centre), along with central partners in the petroleum sector.Ongoing for seven years the research program ended on 31.12.2014.

This project will develop knowledge, technology and operational methods to advance current net cleaning technologies in order to improve cleaning efficacy and fish health while at the same time reducing the wear of net coatings and the discharge of...
