Laboratories
Thermal engineering
The thermal engineering laboratories is the nation's leading laboratory in the field of combustion, refrigeration, air conditioning and heat pump, low-temperature and bio processes and CCS (Carbon Capture and Storage) and processing.
Reservoir Laboratory
The Reservoir laboratory provides methods and equipment for performing experiments at reservoir and production conditions.
Projects
Norwegian Infrastructure for Multiphase Flows (IMF3)
The IMF 3 project has helped SINTEF and IFE develop the potential for future experiments, cutting edge research, as well as releasing FlowDa, which provides open access to extensive historical multiphase flow data for research and industrial use.
GrateCFD
Biomass to energy (BtE) and waste to energy (WtE) plants in Norway need to comply with stricter emission limits and/or adjust to tighter profit margins, and EU have implemented a further reduction of emission limits from medium (scale) combustion...
POLYMEM - New polymeric membranes for CO2 capture
The primary objective of the POLYMEM project is to reduce the costs, energy and environmental impact of CO2 capture compared with existing technologies by developing and implementing the "next generation" polymeric membranes.
News
New research from SINTEF and TU Delft shows that CCS can result in significant CO2 reductions at a marginal cost
Recent research by SINTEF Energy Research and TU Delft shows that implementing CCS in industrial facilities can result in significant CO₂ reductions at a minimal cost to the public.
Building the foundation in Trondheim for the green transition
For the first time, a major European research infrastructure project is being led by a country from outside the EU.
How are we going to store the problem gas CO2?
CO2 is the great scapegoat of our age. Is there a way to get rid of it by burying it in the ground or beneath the sea bed?
