Role of the North Sea power transmission in realizing the 2020 renewable energy targets. The project described and analyzed a plausible stadium 2020 situation for the role of the North Sea with respect to utilization of offshore wind resources and...

Electric vehicles with fuel cells that run on hydrogen are one among several sustainable supplements to fossil fuels enabling the same convenient transportation as today. European project H2moves Scandinavia sets out to gain customer acceptance for...

Smart metering technology has a great potential to achieve cost-efficient energy savings, and its effective use is crucial in achieving the 2016 and 2020 energy efficiency targets in Europe. Moreover, smart meters play an important role in smart...

Comprehensive and coordinated services are important for people with mental illnesses and complex problems. Although continuity and cooperation has been emphasized in health policy objectives and reforms in recent years, mental health service users...

The project will provide new skills and develop methods to optimize the handling of fish on board with regard to environmental impact and raw material quality.

The open-source numerical CO₂ laboratory developed in MRST offers a flexible research and educational platform for modeling and simulation of geological storage of carbon dioxide. The laboratory constitutes of a large set of tools that simplify the...

One of the greatest environmental challenges facing the salmon farming industry is lice. SINTEF Fisheries and Aquaculture uses its interdisciplinary expertise to find solutions to the problem. At the institute it is research activities within several...

Macroalgae, or seaweeds are rich in carbohydrates and represent a valuable biomass resource for production of biofuels. Norway has a long coast line and a huge potential for development of systems for sea farming of seaweeds.

For many years it has been pointed out by users, next-of-kin, professionals and the authorities that treatment should be better coordinated for those who need help from several health services. It is known that failure often arises in the transition...

The Future Internet will provide an environment in which a diverse range of services are offered by a diverse range of suppliers, and users are likely to unknowingly invoke underlying services in a dynamic and ad hoc manner.

As manual labor is getting increasingly expensive, the use of robots for automatic handling of parts is becoming crucial for the piece manufacturing industry in high-cost countries. One challenge that remains to be solved is to automatically pick and...

Hydrogen membrane reactors are an attractive technology for pre-combustion carbon dioxide capture in both coal and gas fired power stations because they combine the efficient conversion of syngas into hydrogen fuel with capture of the remaining...

The ENVISION project provides an ENVIronmental Services Infrastructure with Ontologies that aims to support non ICT-skilled users in the process of semantic discovery and adaptive chaining and composition of environmental services. Innovations in...

Future production of Second Generation Biofuels in Norway requires building of long term competence in thermochemical biomass conversion (i.e. gasification). GasBio aims to fulfil this national need.

In post-combustion CO₂ capture, a main bottleneck causing significant reduction in power plant efficiency and preventing cost effectiveness is the low flue gas CO₂ partial pressure, limiting membrane flux, solvent selection and capacity. In pre...
