SINTEF projects

In MarineGuardian, the goal is to develop more sustainable fishing practices by promoting innovative fishing gear and technologies.

SEARCULAR’s core objective is the reduction of marine litter and microplastics generated by European fisheries (demersal trawlers, demersal seiners, tropical tuna purse seiners) and to promote circular economy practices in the fishing industry.

The collaborative project AMBIOS aims to develop the world's first fully autonomous platform for multi-layer mapping of biodiversity in the marine space and validate it on selected use cases in Mid-Norway.

CLIMAREST is an EU-funded research project consisting of 18 partners from along the length of the European coastline. The project belongs to the EU Mission Restore our Ocean and Waters, and is a member of the Lighthouse for the Arctic and Atlantic...

Reducing environmental impact and greenhouse gas emissions in commercial fisheries.

The main objective of GOMPLAR is to describe, compare and analyze two regional international regulatory and governance frameworks addressing marine plastic litter in order to draw conclusions for possible solutions in the Arctic, seeking synergies...

R-control seeks to place Norway at the forefront of research and development of core technology for effective and sustainable resource control in commercial fishery.

PLASTICENE will build new knowledge and address processes important for increased plastic circularity and effective plastic waste management with the aim of supporting improved plastic material utilization and protecting the environment from plastic...

SUMMER's ambition is to obtain the information vital for a sustainable use of ocean resources through a comprehensive understanding of ocean functioning across its full depth.

More GoJelly! Serious games for serious communication: Jellyfish mucus as a solution for microplastic pollution

The FarmConners project supports the implementation and industrialisation of Wind Farm Control (WFC) as an additional feature for the development and operation of wind power plants. It brings together actors in all relevant fields connected with the...

Vision: Accelerating deployment of offshore wind

The EU Strategic Energy Technology Plan (SET-Plan) was launched in 2008 and updated in 2015. It coordinates European low-carbon research and innovation activities.

Ocean Plastic Turned into an Opportunity in Circular Economy

By developing a smart 3D camera mounted on the trawl opening, we will be able to report quantity, size and species of fish entering the trawl. This can be used to optimize the catch to make trawl fishing more sustainable.

GoJelly will deliver revolutionary solutions in the battle against two major environmental threats - microplastic pollution and jellyfish population increase - and transform these into opportunities for new products that can provide benefits to...

Oil spill response is more challenging in cold climate condition. The project develops and evaluates the effectiveness and environmental effects of different response methods in cold climate with the aim to develop a strategic tool for oil spill...
