It is important to predict the drift trajectories of oil spills, ice bergs, and other floating objects to protect the marine environment and for safe offshore operations.

Real-Time Hybrid Model Testing is the science of combining advanced simulations, state-of-the-art experimental methods with active control system into a novel approach, to verify the safety and efficiency of marine structures and operations.

Oil spill response is more challenging in cold climate condition. The project develops and evaluates the effectiveness and environmental effects of different response methods in cold climate with the aim to develop a strategic tool for oil spill...

Eyes, brain and hands: these are the tools that shall carry Norwegian fish, agriculture and aquaculture from harvest and production, through careful processing, until it reaches the consumer.

The main goal of the LORCENIS project is to develop long lasting reinforced concrete for energy infrastructures under extreme operating conditions.

The development of Smart grids solutions is gaining momentum all over the world, supporting the vision of a sustainable and reliable future energy system. New regulations and directives for security of supply, sustainability and market efficiency...

Offshore Wind Integration with a Stand-alone Electric Grid for Oil and Gas Offshore Installations

SET-Nav's objective is to support strategic decision making in Europe’s energy sector, to facilitate the development of optimal technology portfolios by market actors. The project is based on three pillars: a broad and technically-advanced modelling...

FerroCool is an experimental project that will investigate ferrofluid heat transfer. It is an early step towards realizing a novel, efficient and reliable cooling concept that uses magnetic nanofluids.

The project has a large potential for improving the transmission system's asset management by optimizing decisions on maintenance and reinvestments using developments in information and communication technology (ICT) and existing business specific...

BubbleCAN addresses the optimization of a product for the delivery of very high local concentrations of drugs to tumors using non-invasive focused ultrasound. The product is based on SINTEF owned technology platforms.

The CARBCOATPRO project aims at developing innovative multi-level protective "smart"coatings with enhanced "self-healing" active protection properties, to improve the long-term performance of metallic substrates.

Europe needs more green energy. Offshore wind power is an expanding market for Norwegian maritime industry.

In this project, we aim at increasing our competence and developing new polymer or hybrid capsule demonstrators using a range of techniques and materials. Nano- and microcapsules are currently of high interest in many applications where protection of...

New solutions for orally administrated drugs are in demand by users, society and the pharmaceutical industry. The overall goal of NutriDrug is to develop a novel and efficient oral drug delivery system for the treatment of cancer and infectious...

State-of-the-art solar cells are efficient – but are even more so when they are kept clean. A cleaning robot developed by Norwegian researchers enables solar panels to deliver at full capacity. The objective of the project was to develop a self...

EMPIG, in cooperation with Kværner, will develop an always-clean cooling system (ACS). Through multidisciplinary competence at SINTEF, and a close collaboration with Kværner, that will manufacture and assemble the main parts of the ACS prototype, the...

Biodegradable gillnets are being tested in Norway since 2016 as an attempt to reduce ghost fishing and marine litter caused by lost gillnets.
