The Cost Initiative on wave energy

Electrification of urban transport has been identified as a key enabling technology for achieving a sustainable low carbon society. In spite of the increasing number of battery electric vehicles (EV) available on the market, widespread adoption has...

Multi-Terminal Direct Current (MTDC) transmission matured into the most feasible technology for transmission of bulk power over long distances with cables.

The main target is to contribute to keeping this sector competitive and efficient as it is at the center of a complex web of interests (the public, politics, energy, economy, environment) in the development of circular economy.

AluMar will develop improved, seawater-resistant aluminium components for marine applications.

EXIT aims to develop a state-of-the-art, nanotechnologically driven, analytical platform for the isolation of exosomes from bodily fluids, designed to investigate metabolic, proteomic, immunologic and transcriptional changes in Alzheimer’s disease.

Enabling technology for identification of individual salmon in commercial fish-cages (INDISAL)

The goal of UPWARDS project is to develop a simulation framework, which will incorporate a more complete description of the wind field, turbine, the support structure, and their interaction in order to better understand the physics of the entire...

Development, piloting, evaluation, and implementation of a new service model for intravenous antibiotic treatment in home hospitals, this is the use of coping and distance-follow technology.

The CO2LOS projects focuses on ship transport of CO₂. CO2LOS was started as a small-scale initiative from Brevik Engineering AS and SINTEF and investigated the potential for ship transport in CCS- and possible pathways to reduce the cost of CO...

For biorefined fuels to fully replace fossil carbons, we must identify feedstock sources which are essentially unlimited in capacity and scalability and are independent of agriculture and forestry land use. Here, we propose to use electricity...

Lasers are currently indispensable for many military and civil applications and there is a considerable need for a material to be included into a device for laser damage prevention of optoelectronic devices and for people protection. The overall...

The transport sector is dominated by fossil fuels, and alternative fuels represent currently only 5% of fuel consumption in EU. The EU objective for the share of renewable energy in the transport sector is 10% in 2020. To achieve this goal, new...

Produced water (PW) from the oil and gas industry represents the largest direct discharge of effluent into the marine environment worldwide. Approximately 130 million m3 PW is released on the Norwegian continental shelf annually from offshore...

The main theme of the SiteCast project is "increased competitiveness for in-situ casting of concrete constructions".

Manufacturing Technology Norwegian Catapult Centre (MTNC) is a so-called catapult or testing centre where industrial companies can test new technology and new solutions. The centre is lead by SINTEF Manufacturing on behalf of NCE Raufoss.

In November 2018, the European ARBAHEAT consortium launched a research project to investigate the conversion of the ENGIE Ultra-SuperCritical coal-fired Rotterdam power plant into a biomass-fired heat and power plant.

COMPACTS2 aims to validate methodology for design of more compact, lightweight and robust steam bottoming cycles that will promote their implementation in offshore oil and gas production.
