...aluminium in bridges. Different solutions will be tested in terms of feasibility, capacity, stability and cost-effectiveness. Today, aluminium is used primarily in shorter and smaller bridges where weight and / or durability are crucial. For medium-sized bridges, the use of aluminium decks supported by concrete...
...towards the boost and control of the heat supply temperature according to processes needs. The project will evaluate to what extent high share of solar heat heating and cooling will allow to reduce the dependence of industrial processes on carbon energies and associated polluting emissions, and to quantify...
Hellum Braathen and Gloria Azalde We carried out a literature review on sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) of girls with disabilities. The review was carried out using a scoping view methodology, and included an overview and thematic analysis of available literature, and uncovered gaps...
...storage and to improve monitoring capabilities. This will be accomplished by improving the imaging of the CO2 plume and the quantification of the injected CO2 at the Ketzin pilot site in Germany. Our work will combine the methodologies and expertise from the German and Norwegian CO2 sites (Ketzin and Svelvik)...
MISSION will develop and demonstrate three new SF6-free switchgear components for medium and high voltage (MV and HV). MISSION contributes to minimising both the use of fossil fuels and emissions of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere by Developing SF6-free switchgear for AC and DC systems will enable...
Together with other H2020 projects (CROCODILE, TARANTULA, INFACT, CHROMIC and NEMO), SecREEts has co-organized a satellite event: "Public Acceptance and Social Impact of Mining and Minerals Recycling", which was held in connection to the Raw Materials week on 22nd November 2019 at the Hotel Plaza in...
Provide repeatable and accurate data to forecast and monitor natural hazards such as snow avalanches, floods, landslides. Build an autonomous and modular geo-drone platform and develop innovative real-time data processing- and data analysis approaches to help in decision-making. First demonstration on...
...clean energy and mobility solutions in the most sustainable way. But this green transition will generate an exponential growth in demand for raw materials, such as Rare Earth Elements for the production of permanent magnets. Process Technology - Sustainable Energy - Metal Production and Processing -...
...temperature hydrogen and fuel cell lab is equipped to test fuel cells and electrolysers operating up to 1100 °C and up to 10 bar. The lab has access to a range of standard gasses (H2, O2, CO, CO2, CH4, Ar, He) and the possibility to operate safely with poisonous gasses such as NH3 and H2S. State-of-the-art...
Safe and economic use of batteries is strongly dependent on a solid understanding of the performance of the batteries under various operational modes and environments. SINTEF is performing scientifically based evaluations of the electric and thermal performance of batteries under different temperatures...
...catalysis, reaction kinetics, reactor- and process technology to address the societal needs for sustainable energy, renewable chemicals and reduced emissions. The Kinetics and catalysis group provide solutions for more energy efficient, environmental friendly, and sustainable process technology....
...us, this involves the development of fossil free materials (e.g. bio-plastic, bio-based coatings) and chemicals, use of energy (e.g. bio-fuels), better solutions for agriculture and food/feed resources and CCUS technologies. This is coupled with Bioprospecting, where we operate a systematic search for...
This 2-day International Hydrogen and Fuel Cell conference organised by the Nordic countries will focus on discussions around the establishment and support of hydrogen energy supply chains. Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), Kalvskinnet: Amphitheatre Sverres gate 12 Trondheim Organising...
The Annual NTNU and SINTEF European Strategy Summit is a seminar hosted for the third time, this year as an online edition, bringing together leaders from Norwegian business and industry, organizations, the public sector, funding agencies, and public authorities. The summit is designed to create partnerships...
Charging infrastructure and electrochemical energy storage are prerequisites for society’s swift transition to green energy and lower CO2 emissions, and will play important roles in the future energy system. SINTEF carry out projects in collaboration with both private industry and the public sector, focusing...
Simply put, upgrading and expanding (O/U) hydropower means either replacing old components with newer and more efficient components (upgrading), or increasing the production capacity of hydropower plants (expanding). Expansion can be achieved in multiple ways, such as by using more water (for example...
The aim of this research project is to study and quantify the relationship between increased life expectancy and the future needs for health and care services. The population is getting older, and life expectancy is increasing. This can affect public finances through several channels. Among other things...
...covers two important and unresolved topics in multiphase flows; scaling and uncertainty. Cooperation between SINTEF, IFE and NTNU will provide a new combination of competence for increasing the confidence in multiphase flow modelling, looking more thoroughly into these topics. Scaling and uncertainty have...
