Batteries
SINTEF performs research covering large parts of the battery value chain.
Renewable energy
SINTEF creates the future’s energy solutions
Renewable energy will increasingly replace fossil fuel as a future energy source. The world needs an energy revolution that will require large investments in new solutions and infrastructure. SINTEF partners with industry and government agencies to create more efficient, less polluting and more flexible energy solutions
Research areas within renewable energy
Bioenergy
SINTEF has decades of research experience in environmentally friendly and energy- and cost-effective bioenergy
Defence
SINTEF assists Norway’s and Europe’s defence capabilities through research and innovation that link civilian needs, military purposes and industrial development.
Electric power components
Reliable electric power components in the transmission and distribution grid are crucial for the power system’s ability to provide society with secure, sustainable and competitive electricity at any one time.
Energy efficiency in the industry
SINTEF creates forward-looking and innovative solutions for energy efficiency in industry – because the greenest energy is the energy you never use.
Energy security
Energy security means ensuring a continuous energy supply, even during disruptions such as natural disasters, attacks, or other major system stresses.
Energy systems
If we are to reach the global climate targets, we need to achieve a rapid transition to the use of emission-free energy. This means we must facilitate the best possible utilization of the existing power grid and build new grid infrastructure where...
Hydrogen
As a fuel, hydrogen is powerful enough to launch NASA’s space shuttles. It is also extremely environmentally friendly, as the only emission it produces when burned is water.
Hydropower
We work together with our customers to achieve efficient hydropower production that also respects nature, the local environment and wildlife.
Integrated Energy Systems
The energy system of the future must support a zero-emission society. Decarbonization is the most important driver, together with digitalization and decentralization, which bring both opportunities and challenges for the energy system.
Offshore wind
Norway has just left the starting line in a race to become the nation that conquers the sea with deep-water wind turbines.
Smart grids
They are also essential for Norway’s electrification efforts and success with the necessary reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.
Solar energy
SINTEF is doing research to make solar energy more efficient, more competitive, and more environmentally friendly.
Wave energy
Research on wave energy contributes to harnessing wave power for electricity generation and other applications.
