Optimizing production and water injection or studying the overall impact of LowEmission technologies on energy consumption and emissions requires considering the interdependencies of topside processing, reservoir behaviour and transporting system. Not doing so will result in unrealistic or biased results...
...installation and maintenance of offshore wind turbines The development of large offshore wind farms is challenging and involves several installations and maintenance operations that are sensitive to weather and wind. By studying such operations in controlled experiments in laboratories and in numerical...
...owned by none – or all. These are areas beyond national jurisdiction. This area is today governed very fragmented, and on many different topics, such as fisheries, biodiversity, shipping, and pollution to name a few. During the last decades, however, world leaders have worked to come to an agreement on...
...material and a corresponding production process for automated industrial production of components for a patented type of fire stopping vents for buildings. Securo AS develops and produces vents (ventilation grilles) with a patented passive mechanism which blocks the spread of flames, heat and embers with...
...production that can handle a wider range of bauxite than the existing process. The process will minimise the environmental impact of bauxite mining and alumina production. Global aluminium metal consumption is expected to grow during the coming years. Aluminium metal is produced through electrolysis...
Research Scientists is awarded in the following fields: humanities and the social sciences medicine, health-related fields and biology mathematics, the natural sciences and technology The prize is intended to reward high-quality, independent and technical innovation achieved early in the recipient's career...
...project is based on three pillars: a broad and technically-advanced modelling portfolio; specific evaluation of the technology pathways; and active stakeholder dialogue and dissemination. A key concern, however, is the uncertainty in how the future will develop, and whether we can adequately guide technology...
The Norwegian Aluminium Industry is technology and environmentally at the global forefront. To achieve this, a continuous focus on developing new and better fundamental scientific understanding of process mechanisms are necessary. CaRMa looks at four important material areas used in the production of...
...microplastics. Microplastics (MPs) are ubiquitous in the marine environment. Plastic has a slow decomposition rate, and combined with volume of new plastic finding its way into rivers and ocean every year, the amount of plastic in the environment is accumulating. Beads used in personal care products or...
...work, health and performance. The degree of cold exposure is essential for the severity and risks associated with the exposure. Cold environment disturbs not only the machinery of industrial processes and vehicles, but is also very crucial factor to reduce worker's comfort, performance and safety. Indication...
...on Climate Change. The other one is Ghana's former Prime Minister John Kufuor. Mr. Stoltenberg combines this task with being a Member of Parliament and a Parliamentarian Leader for the Labor Party. The most important task for the Special Envoys is to contribute to a new international agreement on climate...
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 fishing industry is a major contributor to marine litter...
...cost-effective and robust CO2 injection wells for carbon capture and storage (CCS). The project develops simulation tools to assess and optimize well integrity, improve well design and material selection, and increase safety and cost-efficiency for long-term CO2 storage. Carbon capture and storage (CCS)...
...(MaaS) platform that will provide the enabling technologies, equipment and services for the manufacturing of bulky parts of the capital goods sector, assuring the quality of the produced components while maximising productivity and minimising environmental impact. A significant opportunity in large part...
The DigiBygg project aims to achieve fast and cost-effective production of detailed digital building models, which will promote broader adoption of digital processes in the building sector. Digital transformation within the building sector Buildings are the single largest consumer of energy in Europe...
A protective shoe, manufactured by Wenaas, cut in half and pictured together with its LCA flow diagram. The diagram illustrates the manufacturing process and serves to identify items for improvement both for the product and the process.

On 12 April, approximately 43 members of the European wave energy community, and associated industries, gathered in Perugia for IMPACT’s second workshop, organised by project partners SINTEF Energy Research and VGA. The "Wave Energy Rig Testing Workshop" focused on how rig testing has significant potential...
...surgeons with a visualization and navigation tool that can improve clinical decision-making and reduce the risk of surgical complications in cancer surgery. Surgical interventions are complex procedures involving a comprehensive team of healthcare professionals both before, during and after the surgery itself...
...indicated that cables in the future HVDC transmission grids for electric energy in the North Sea and other places may be subjected to temporary overvoltages significantly different in duration, amplitude, and waveform from what is currently observed. As these cables, like all other electrical power components...
...answer In Norse mythology, Asgard (the world of the gods) and Midgard (the world of men – Earth) are connected by a rainbow bridge called Bifrost. Currently, we are in need of our own bridge between two worlds: a world powered by fossil fuels and a world powered by renewable energy. Traditionally, this...
