Next generation casting process for the ferroalloy industry

PCM-STORE gathers dairies, fish industries, food processing plants, supermarkets, technology suppliers and power grid operators to work towards a common goal: Solving energy storage challenges in support of a more energy-efficient industrial future.

The FurnAl project will develop numerical models and monitoring techniques for casthouse furnaces. This involves detailed modelling of the furnace process, and development of 'digital twin' coupled with monitoring of the furnace, for early warning of...

The SUPEERA project supports the implementation of the SET-Plan.

EduCool will be a platform for students and young researchers to develop cutting-edge environmentally friendly heating and cooling systems for the Indian market.

With increasing spread of digitalization, heat pumps will be designed to provide real time energy efficiency, flexible use of electricity, optimized load profile and an optimized compromise concerning comfort and operation costs. Heat pumps will...

Interdisciplinary Education and Research Platform in Cold-Chain of Fish: From Norway to Japan

Developing innovative design methodologies for low-emission hotel facilities on passenger ships.

For the O&G industry, risk-based hydrate management can be a viable strategy for significantly widening the operational window. The traditional approach has been to avoid entering the hydrate region (high pressure and low temperature) altogether by...

The LowEmission Research Centre will develop new technologies and concepts for offshore energy systems, energy efficiency and integration with renewable power production technologies for application on the Norwegian Continental Shelf (NCS).

The project aim to develop methods for identifying the most cost-efficient Thermal Energy Storage (TES) system for load shifting and exploitation of fluctuating renewable energy sources in steam production.

This project has now been completed as of September 2023 and this website will no longer be updated. However, all content will still remain available.

Efficient and climate-friendly snowmaking

The project goal is to enable non-disruptive production conditions in relation to slug flow with realistic fluid chemistry through pragmatic model developments. The project will concentrate our research on gas entrainment and surface chemistry...

Development of smart and low energy input processing chains, natural food additives and colourants, and supportive material for a code of practice to increase sustainability and consumer acceptance of organic food stuffs

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.

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.
