...houses. Photo: Thinkstock When oil and gas arrive at a platform from a well on the seabed, they bring with them large volumes of water from the reservoir. The older a well is, the more water is produced. The purpose of the platform is actually to separate the oil, gas and water before loading the oil onto...
...biomaterials by enzyme technology for modification and upgrading of polysaccharides from marine resources. Polysaccharides are attractive alternatives to oil based polymers in utilizing renewable resources. Norway is in a unique position regarding marine biomass and these resources play an important role in...

Photo: Svein Tønseth The research division was set up at the beginning of 2006, when Byggforsk (The Norwegian Building Research Institute) and SINTEF’s departments of building and construction were...
Recent environmental considerations, as salmon lice, escape of farmed fish and release of nutrients, have prompted the Norwegian aquaculture industry to consider the use of closed fish production systems. The use of such systems is amongst other suggestions also considered as potential way of expanding...

The project has focused on two main areas: Indicators and methods...
...that binds CO2 is utilized. The most used substance today are amine solvents. This technology is, for example, used at the cement factory in Brevik and will also be installed at the waste incineration plant at Klemetsrud in Oslo. For successful implementation of carbon capture, it is crucial that the...
...sector after fish and oil, is one of Europe's most important suppliers of low-emission metals and critical raw materials. With an annual export value of around NOK 100 billion and contributing to 11% of Norway's land-based CO2 emissions, the sector faces significant challenges and opportunities. Ambitious...
...for dissolving and refining Ir, Ru and other PGMs from existing and potentially growing wastes, i.e., PEM electrolysers. Platinum, palladium, rhodium, iridium, ruthenium and osmium are chemical elements grouped together as the platinum group metals (PGMs). They have similar physical and chemical properties...
...environment and working conditions for employees in Norway. By following a large sample of members from both the Fagforbundet, Fellesorganisasjonen (FO), and Norsk Sykepleierforbund (NSF), the aim is to gain more knowledge that can contribute to stronger and more systematic health, safety, and environment...
Joints in high-voltage overhead lines are critical components that, if they fail, can lead to line breaks and power outages. Currently, there is no effective method for monitoring the condition of such line joints. Due to a lack of knowledge about their technical condition, thousands of line joints...
