...age range have the highest rate of abortions in Norway. In order to determine whether free hormone-based contraception changes contraception habits and abortion rates among women in this age group, the Directorate of Health asked SINTEF to carry out a project in which 20-24 year-old women in two Norwegian...
FORSEL will develop tools and methodologies that will help Norwegian grid companies to utilize the opportunities for flexibility in the power grid and make good choices when it comes to future load and the connection of new electricity customers to the power grid. FORSEL's overall goal is to make the...
...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. These findings have been published as a paper “Is CCS really so expensive? An analysis of cascading costs and CO₂ emission reduction of...
...platforms, it is important to understand the nature of the emissions that are to be measured and the frequency of measurements that will be needed. Webinar 10 minutes will be used for the presentation and 20 minutes for an open discussion. This webinar is intended to assist with better understanding...
Osmond, University of Oslo The webinar will present results and ongoing work addressing seal potential of faults and stratigraphic intervals vital to successful CO2 storage within the Alpha closure at Smeaheia. Thorough characterization and evaluation of potential seals is essential for derisking any...
...project is to develop a simulation framework, which will incorporate a more complete description of the wind field, turbine, the support structure, and their interaction in order to better understand the physics of the entire system. The complex wind field will be calculated adding interactions from...
...consequence of de-institutionalisation, mental health care pathways have changed, with tasks now being taken care of by a range of primary and secondary health and care providers. This raises concerns about thefragmentation of care. The primary objective of this project is to gain knowledge on good user...
Materials and Chemistry is developing a method that can improve the diagnosis and treatment of many different diseases. This method may lead to an easier process to treat the exact place in the body with the right amount of medicine. For many diseases, like cancer and diseases of the cardiovascular and nervous...
...a key role in the green transition to solve the global climate crisis, for example by enabling zero-emission transport (e.g. electric vehicles and ferries) and by storing the energy from intermittent renewable sources. The global demand for batteries is expected to skyrocket the next ten years, which...
When we humans hear the word ‘battery’, we use context to distinguish between an energy storage system and an artillery unit. But computer systems think differently. Researchers are now developing a common computer language based on words that are so well defined that they cannot be misunderstood. Illustration...
...physical and virtually connected due to a more modern and mobile world, and new technologies for collaboration and communication, such as mobile phones, satellites and internet. Next era will likely be the introduction of autonomy that is still in its start phase. By increased global mobility and transport...
We investigate the physical- and photodegradation of microplastic (MP) particles and attempt to understand which MP physicochemical properties exert the most significant influence on these processes. Polystyrene (PS) and polyethylene (PE) MPs are used to study the effect of polymer composition on degradation...
