Leading up to the ISEE-conference in Oslo, June 24-27. 2025...
In response to the request from the Parliament (Stortinget), the Norwegian Environmental Agency (Miljødirektoratet) proposed 3 July a regulation to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions from offshore vessels working on the Norwegian Continental Shelf. It shall also stimulate development of zero...
Model-scale testing of floating wind turbine substructures is an integral part of design verification. Yet, both the test-facility and Froude-scales used, raise questions over the suitability of the hydrodynamic coefficients obtained. In this study, experimental measurements from towing tank tests...
With the rapid rise of hydrogen-based technologies toward sustainable energy solutions, understanding and mitigating hydrogen embrittlement (HE) has become increasingly critical. HE threatens the structural integrity and performance of steels in demanding industrial applications. Addressing this...
Light metals such as Mg and Al are of high interest for lightweight engineering applications in various industries. However, their susceptibility to corrosion, poor tribological properties, and moisture sensitivity limit their direct use. Plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) is a commonly used...
The EU-funded project ACCSESS is delighted to invite you to an open online event exploring management of captured CO2, using Central Europe as a case study. It will explore the opportunities of CO2 utilisation and the recent development of European CO2 infrastructure and how CO2 specifications can...
Quantifying products’ environmental impacts is essential as policymakers and customers push for transparency and accountability in product sustainability. The applications of machine learning (ML) have extended to many fields, including environmental science. Several studies demonstrate the...
Waiting until water damage occurs is expensive. But it also doesn't make financial sense to replace pipes too early. We looked into the best time to do it....
Det er en kjent utfordring i helsetjenesten å få til god pasientflyt mellom ulike deler av tjenesten. Samtidig tegnes også et utfordringsbilde med økning i andelen eldre pasienter med sammensatte, kroniske lidelser og nedsatt funksjonsevne, som vil ha behov for helsehjelp fra en helsetjeneste som...
Foredraget beskriver nedbrytningsmekanismene og de relevante materialparametrene når alkalireaksjoner og frost opptrer hver for seg generelt og med spesiell vekt på relevans for betongdammer: betydning av tilstrekkelig mengde alkalier, fukt og reaktivt tilslag for alkalireaksjoner, og høy nok...
The use of battery energy storage systems (BESS) based on Lithium-Ion Batteries (LIBs) in buildings is increasing, as being part of the solution for a reducing greenhouse gas emission. The main usage areas for a BESS are to store electric energy obtained from solar panels, or to serve as a back-up...
This memo provides an update on the logistics of the hydrogen industry in Northern Europe, building upon our 2024 analysis. We present recent advancements in hydrogen production, transport, and storage technologies, with a focus on Norway and other key countries in the region. We discuss new...
Offshore mooring chains are critical components for floating structures such as oil platforms and wind turbines, yet they face degradation from corrosion, fouling, and mechanical wear. Current inspection methods are limited, often relying on manual measurements of single links, which lack...
This project, funded by Handelens Miljøfond with support from industry partners and a sling producer, explored how synthetic lifting slings used in Norwegian construction can shift from single-use disposal toward circular practices. Although technically durable and recyclable, most slings are...
This paper presents experimental validation of a time-domain load parameter determination method for single-phase circuits using a state-of-the-art smart grid laboratory equipped with power hardware and real-time emulators. The proposed method identifies circuit parameters using only instantaneous...
