...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...

The recommendation applies not only to housing estates, but also to other built-up areas and business premises...
...optimists) podcast, hosted by Chul Christian Aamodt. The pair talked about the potential of offshore wind and the challenges it poses. They also discussed the Norwegian plans for offshore wind, and Equinor’s current projects in the field. The need for energy storage solutions was also a topic, with all...

In practice, this represents a biological heat storage system; in other words, a bio-battery. Photo courtesy of SINTEF/Smidesang&Lyng Standard ...
...both financial and technical challenges in their transition to using other energy sources than fossil fuels. In the future, ports and ferry terminals will probably have to offer multiple types of fuels, both fossil and renewable. However, electricity, ammonia, hydrogen, natural gas, heat and various forms...
In NCCS (NCCS Task 7) we work to improve and expand our knowledge on the design and operation of safe and efficient CO2-transport systems. Part of this is to understand CO2 flows that are out of equilibrium. https://blog.sintef.com/sintefenergy/bikes-gravel-CO2-flow-out-equilibrium/ ...
Five Nordic partners are now joining forces to further develop and demonstrate proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell technology suitable for operation in cold Nordic climate. The 2 year project is supported by the Nordic Energy Research through a 4.4MNOK grant. The partners aim at reducing system...
Mustad Longline has started a project to develop new mechanized solutions in the line fishing. SINTEF Fisheries and Aquaculture, SINTEF Raufoss Manufacture , Plasto AS and CETPEC in Spain are partners. The project is funded by the BIA program in the Norwegian Research Council. It will be developed a...
