SINTEF projects

The REFHYNE project will install and test the world's largest hydrogen electrolysis plant at the Shell Energy and Chemicals Park Rheinland in Wesseling, Germany.

As the only technology that can substantially reduce CO₂ emissions from fossil fuels, CCS is an essential component in essentially all IPCC scenarios that limit global warming to below 2°C.

Biomass to energy (BtE) and waste to energy (WtE) plants in Norway need to comply with stricter emission limits and/or adjust to tighter profit margins, and EU have implemented a further reduction of emission limits from medium (scale) combustion...

MoZEES, a research center for environmentally friendly energy (FME), contributes to the development of new battery and hydrogen materials, components and systems for applications in the transport sector (road, rail and sea).

HyLAW stands for Hydrogen Law and removal of legal barriers to the deployment of fuel cells and hydrogen applications. It is a flagship project aimed at boosting the market uptake of hydrogen and fuel cell technologies providing market developers...

The ECRIA project AMBITION aims to develop a long-term joint European Community Research and Innovation Agenda on the integration of biofuels production and surplus grid electricity valorisation. AMBITION brings together eight partners from eight...

Akershus county (the Norwegian county surrounding the around the city of Oslo) required on short notice a fact report to draft their hydrogen strategy, and that had to be ready by the end of September 2016. They contacted SINTEF, who prepared the...

The project aims to develop novel approaches to design property-driven materials with nano-functionalized surfaces and nano-structured thin films as well as necessary experimental techniques to determine catalytic properties and rate determining...

Liquefied hydrogen production from surplus wind/hydro power and fossil sources in Norway

Giantleap aims to increase lifetime and reliability of fuel cells in buses

Accelerating a shift towards deployment of CCS in Europe through a cross-border CO₂ transport infrastructure

The overall aim is to create the foundations for commercializing an automotive derivative fuel cell system in the 50 to 100 kW range, for combined heat and power (CHP) applications in commercial and industrial buildings.

The project Predict-RPT has sought to improve our understanding of the phenomenon of rapid phase transition (RPT). This is becoming an important safety issue as the transport and utilization of liquefied natural gas (LNG) is increasing in a Norwegian...

In the project "Establishment of a process for production of membrane elements", an industrial manufacturing process for membrane tubes for CO₂ capture using hydrogen separation, is developed. Reinertsen AS, SINTEF Materials and Chemistry and SINTEF...

Hydrogen is considered a favourable alternative for transport and for storing peak renewable energy for the grid. This project investigates the feasibility of a bio-hybrid photoelectrochemical (PEC) cell with modified hydrogenase enzymes as catalysts...

The main goal of ELECTRA is to design, build, and test a kW size multi-tubular proton ceramic high temperature electrolyser for production of hydrogen from steam and renewable energy.

The future European electricity system will be more integrated cross-borders and will include a larger share of renewable intermittent generation than what is the case today.

The Metallica project's goal is to achieve a renewable production of hydrogen by developing an electrolyser cell operating at 600°C - for efficient use of heat and steam supplied by geothermal or solar plants.
