SINTEF Ocean projects

TAILWIND embraces sustainable-by-design principles to shape the next generation of floating offshore wind (FOW) farms.

AquaStar will develop an autonomous underwater system for targeted inspection and repair of holes in fish farm nets. The aim is to improve today's inspection routines and enable the immediate repair of holes.

The goal is to design and demonstrate safe and effective connection of an emergency towing line for ships without an IMO requirement for onboard emergency towing system.

FUEL-UP aims to accelerate the deployment of advanced biofuels made from fast pyrolysis by de-risking and upscaling all the steps until fuel use. Allowing new routes to biofuels entering the market, which will mean an at least 80% emissions reduction...

GOSPEL aims to leverage GPU-accelerated simplified ocean models to investigate and estimate uncertainties in short-term predictions of the spread and fate of oil spill at sea.

Plastic in packaging materials represents a significant environmental challenge. In this project, SINTEF investigates whether rest raw materials from Norwegian agriculture, also known as agriwaste, can be part of the solution.

MikRho will establish a stable, reproducible microalgae culture optimised for industrial production that has a favourable microbiome, good nutrient composition, and increased growth rate.

UTANTOX is about reducing heavy metals in marine residual raw material. The aim is to develop a method for reducing cadmium in by-products from Iceland scallops.

SINTEF Ocean together with NOFIMA are working in the project SAFE where one of the main goals is fostering bilateral cooperation between Croatia and Norway in the field of sustainable aquaculture and fisheries.
