SINTEF projects

The Norwegian ferroalloy industry (with a significant international ownership) cooperates in the field of environmental challenges, and is internationally renowned for sustainable production. The innovation is therefore on a national and...

The resistance at the metal contact-semiconductor interface and recombination at the passivating layer-semiconductor interface are two important bottlenecks for improving the performance of current solar cells. These processes are quantum mechanical...

The OCMOL project aims at developing an innovative chemical route adapted to the exploitation of small gas reservoirs from both a technical and an economic point of view. The corresponding process is, among others, based on oxidative coupling of...

The TACO EU Project will develop a new type of laser based time-of-flight 3D camera, that will give robots a more “human view of the world”.

This is a large industrial project between Nobina AB in Sweden and SINTEF Optimisation. The project focuses on building a personnel scheduling engine - SkiftOpt - that matches bus drivers to shifts. The engine creates a work schedule for personnel by...

Interdisciplinary research centre for technical and environmental development of hydro power, wind power, power line rights-of-way and implementation of environment and energy policy.

The discovery of porous hybrid materials constructed from inorganic nodes and organic multifunctional linkers has established a new area of inorganic-organic hybrids (Metal-Organic Frameworks, MOFs) with extraordinary performance as compared to...

EFFIPRO will develop electrolytes and electrodes for proton conducting fuel cells (PCFCs) based on novel LaNbO4-type and similar proton conducting oxides that, unlike earlier candidates, are chemically stable and mechanically robust. The transport of...

The main goal of the project HYPRO is to develop a hybrid manufacturing system by integration of additive manufacturing with conventional manufacturing technologies, such as milling, grinding and others, with the objective of competitive production...

Enabling universal and equitable access to healthcare for vulnerable people in resource poor settings in Africa.

The four year €3.5m project, called ADABTS or Automatic Detection of Abnormal Behaviour and Threats in crowded Spaces, was launched in August 2009, and is jointly funded by the European Commission and the partners involved who form an international...

It is essential for improving the existing units and processes, or developing new and more efficient ones, to have a thorough insight in the underlying physical behaviour of the fluid streams involved. Hence, fundamentals for multilevel modelling of...

The aim of this project was to build competence and knowledge regarding vulnerabilities related to the changing electric power system, especially due to new requirements and changing operating conditions, and thereby contribute to ensure an...

In the two-degree scenario (2DS) of the International Energy Agency (IEA), in 2050, CO₂ capture and storage (CCS) will contribute to reducing the global CO₂ emissions by about 7 billion tonnes per year. In order to achieve this, it will be necessary...

Underwater video cameras are commonly used in the fish farming industry for inspecting the health and wellbeing of the fish, monitoring the feeding process, etc. However, for many applications it is desirable to do automatic analysis of the images...

The Norwegian oil company StatoilHydro has developed a new concept for an unmanned oil & gas platform. The platform should be equipped with intelligent and reliable robotic and instrumentation systems that enable a series of inspection and...

The main objective of the project was to realise the environmental benefits from full scale deployment of smart meters (AMS).

Current systems for automatic processing of salmon are not able to remove all bones from freshly slaughtered salmon. The pin bones are positioned in the thickest part of the fillets. The bones are attached to the flesh by tendons, and the fillet is...
