SINTEF projects

Within this project, next generation extrusion- and moulding-processes for manufacturing of aluminium and plastic products will be developed.

The overall objective of the present project is to establish basic knowledge on subsea hyperbaric repair welding and degradation of clad and lined pipes, as well as C-Mn steel, as studied by laboratory  experiments in combination with numerical...

We consider that € 40–120 million of the maintenance costs for concrete bridges, tunnels and retaining walls in the European Union could be saved by application of self-healing concrete.

The overall objective of BioCarb+ is development of new strategies for use of low-grade biomass, pulpwood and energy wood resources for biocarbon (BC) production for raw material for industrial applications (reduction agent / metallurgical coke) and...

FASTCARD is aiming at achieving a faster industral implementation of biomass conversion to advanced biofuels in Europe by developing new catalyst and methodologies. The catalytic key processes comprise hydrocarbon reforming, CO₂ FTS, hydrotreating...

Many of the materials we use on a daily basis are derived from petrochemical sources. Most plastics contain carbon from these finite resources. Therefore, the FUTURFEED project aims to find an alternative, renewable carbon source for the materials...

Development of New and Modification of Proposed Electrical Insulation Materials.Both well established and new, promising electrical insulating materials are tested, and further modified to change morphology and intrinsic properties.

The main goal of SunSiC is to introduce intermediate band materials as a basis for novelhigh-efficiency single junction multiple band gap solar cell technology in Norway. This is a “New Concepts” researcher project funded by the EnergiX program in...

The performance of elastomeric polymers depends on their environment, especially the local temperature. In order to develop successful seals for use in arctic oil production, new elastomer materials which perform at arctic temperatures are needed...

The main goal of MARPOL is to develop innovative biomaterials by enzyme technology for modification and upgrading of polysaccharides from marine resources. Polysaccharides are attractive alternatives to oil based polymers in utilizing renewable...

The BYEFOULING project addresses high volume production of low toxic and environmentally friendly antifouling coatings for mobile and stationary maritime applications.The search after solutions aiming at reducing Green House Gas-emissions across the...

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.

The project NanoHX is about investigating ways of making circulating fluid cooling more efficient and reliable by using magnetic nanofluids.

The overall objective is to develop fundamental understanding of defined issues underpinning lifetime and performance of fuel cells, electrolysers and gas separation membranes.

The R&D project's main objective is to develop "best available technology" and competence to assess and develop an innovative concept for energy recovery in the ferroalloy industry.

It is estimated that a large part of the world's remaining hydrocarbon resources are located in the Arctic areas. The climatic conditions make it demanding to explore the resources. Thus, the overall objective of the SMACC-project is to develop...

The innovative and economic potential of Manufactured Nano Materials (MNMs) is threatened by a limited understanding of the related Environment, Health & Safety (EHS) issues. NANoREG is the first FP7 project to deliver the answers needed by...

The concept of CyclicCO2R is to create a process that removes the dependency on fossil fuel and increases the energy efficiency to create a net CO₂ uptake in the production of cyclic carbonates.
