Oslo Norway Regulations are in place to restrict the use of lead in commercial products and these are expected to become even stricter in the future. For example, the active material in most ultrasound equipment and other piezoelectric devices is the ceramic oxide Pb(Zr,Ti)O3 (PZT), which contains about...
SINTEF invites the industry in Mo i Rana to this seminar where we want to investigate the industrial possibilities for production and use of hydrogen towards reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Park 22 Fridjof Nansens gate 22, Mo i Rana Backdrop for the seminar The Norwegian industry has identified...
...thesis with the title "Optimal operation and control of thermal energy systems". The work deals with a wide range of subjects from operation and control of steam cycles to systematically derived feedforward control applied to heat exchangers or steam networks and to inventory control problems such as thermal...
The logistics and mobility sectors are responsible for a major part of Norway's CO2 emissions but meet challenges in the urgent hunt for large reductions. A new whitepaper from SINTEF shows how data driven machine learning methods may be crucial in finding environmentally friendly solutions....
Energy systems in cities will be different in the future, and many changes have already been implemented. Political zero-emission targets are important driving forces for this, as fossil fuels, whether they are used for heating buildings, district heating or transport, must be phased out. In addition...
Coherent and seamless patient pathways has become a mantra and call-for-action in current healthcare. However, the term patient pathways is poorly defined, abstraction levels are highly variable, and methods to design and validate implemented pathways are virtually non-existent. The overall goal of the...
...be more aware of their risks and enable them to monitor, forecast and manage such risks. It will also provide capabilities to protect their information system from the identified risks, and to share intelligence without exposing commercially sensitive data. With SMEs and MEs (micro enterprises) accounting...
...aims at pushing the knowledge front describing profit and energy consumption in oil production using "digital wells". Digiwell aims at developing new methods, algorithms, and tools for oil production with minimum energy consumption, maximized profit and under uncertain information. This will be achieved...
Research, the CCShip project, will collaborate with key research and industrial organizations to explore carbon capture aboard ships. The main objective of the CCShip project is to develop cost-effective solutions for carbon capture and storage (CCS) from ships, as well as to understand when CCS can...
...developments and findings during this period, held its “1st Stakeholder Workshop” in Rome, on the 25th of September 2017. This was the first wide-scale dissemination activity of the project, gathering more than 40 experts from all around the world, attracting their active attention and participation...
Blocked oil and gas pipelines is one of the industry’s big anxieties, because of loss of revenue. It has therefore been important to find solutions for oil and gas pipelines to avoid such incidents. The solution is Direct Electrical Heating (DEH). Blocked pipelines/reduced flow in the pipelines are...
Recently SINTEF and UOP, a leading international supplier of catalysts, installed a test system for controlling the gas and liquid feed for in situ catalyst studies using high-energy synchrotron X-rays at the Advanced Photon Source (APS) at Argonne National Laboratory (ANL). The APS, located outside...
...environmental and energy policy concerns best be combined? This was the main question that GOVREP wanted to answer by producing knowledge and policy recommendations that could improve political and administrative practices designed to achieve more sustainable electricity production in Norway and Sweden. During...

He is currently assistent managing director of SINTEF ICT, and heads SINTEF's departments in Oslo. He has previously been head of SINTEF Electronics and Cybernetics. Ernst Kristiansen...
Utility – industry symbiosis HIAS IKS and IVAR IKS are two inter-municipal companies that treat a total load of 570 000 pe municipal and industrial wastewater. The WWTPs are in the process of converting from chemical phosphorus removal to enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR). HIAS is implementing...
Learning Flexibility: Complexity, Innovation & Inter-Urban Knowledge Transfer focusses on flexible and sustainable cities by identifying novel lessons and knowledge from cities facing complexity, crisis or limited resources....
...metallic materials requires advanced knowledge of pyro-metallurgical processes. SINTEF optimises metallurgical processes and raw materials, using a combination of laboratory scale and pilot scale experimental techniques, combined with thermochemical modelling....
Did you know that artificial intelligence (AI) can be used to reduce and manage climate change? In AI@SINTEF, we combine industry knowledge with expertise in AI and machine learning to achieve ambitious climate goals....
