...environments. Clothing and textiles produced from synthetic fibres such as polyester (PES), polyacrylic (PAC) and nylon (PA) are considered some of the main sources of MPFs. However, there has been little focus on the environmental fate and effects of MPFs compared to microplastic particles and fragments. In...

...transition pathways. The aim was to establish a systematic methodology for analysing transition pathways for Norway that could be used and further developed by the NTRANS partners and the research community at wide. This report provides a description of the four Norwegian NTRANS transition pathways towards 2050...

...based on a combination of optimization and simulation, and does not rely on aggregation of the hydropower system. It is suitable for both operational planning and expansion planning studies. This report documents the theoretical foundation, implementation and functionality available in the SOVN model...

...can be used as guidelines for the development of energy supply and technology deployment in regional energy systems. In order to produce recommendations for policy development and regional energy investment strategies, both quantitative and qualitative research were applied. Until an international climate...

...included to estimate the viscosity limits and the time window for dispersant use. The laboratory data were used as input to the SINTEF Oil Weathering Model (OWM) for weathering predictions from a surface release of Langfjellet at sea at 5 and 15 °C, reflecting winter and summer conditions. The weathering properties...

The identification and specification of generic and specific enablers of the Future Internet is based on a use-case oriented methodology taking into account life cycle and architectural constraints. The approach is illustrated by examples from the geospatial and environmental domain that are both elaborated...

To design and operate safe and efficient CO₂-transportation systems for CO₂ capture and storage (CCS), engineers need simulation tools properly accounting for the fluid and thermodynamics of CO₂. As the transportation systems evolve into networks, it becomes important that these tools also account for...

...world's largest renewable electricity source and will have an important role in the future energy system with increased requirements to integrate environmental and socioeconomic aspects of sustainability. One important field of interaction is between hydropower and fish. The aim of optimizing hydropower production...

...particles (TWPs) form through abrasion of the rubber material, and in contact with the road surface composites of both materials form tire and road wear particles (TRWPs). These emissions represent a large fraction of total microplastic pollution, and thus a pressing environmental challenge that cannot be counteracted...
