...six industrial regions in Europe, are now being drawn up as part of a recently launched joint European research project. An international research and industrial sector partnership has launched a far-reaching project with the aim of helping transform six European industrial regions into economically-robust...
Here you find instance definitions and the best known upper and lower bounds (to our knowledge) for the 23 instances of the mggdb (ß=0.30) benchmark derived from the CARP by Bosco et al. [BLMV]. The values for the upper and lower bounds reported in the table only include traversal costs, i.e. service...
... we introduce a simple pressure solver and use it to solve the single-phase pressure equation within the domain [0,1]x[0,1]x[0,30] using a Cartesian grid with homogeneous isotropic permeability of 100 mD. The fluid has density 1000 kg/m^3 and viscosity 1 cP and the pressure is 100 bar at the top of the...

...release, MRST has been divided into core functionality and add-on modules, where the latter is defined as a set of functions and scripts that extend or modify the existing capabilities of MRST. A module may use all features of the core toolbox and may, optionally, depend on other modules. Starting from...

...generation in cities and other built-up areas. But what is the best way of exploiting wind energy in such areas? Research scientists at SINTEF have been reviewing state-of-the-art technologies and have studied projects elsewhere in the world where wind turbines have been installed both on and in buildings....
...was performed during last week at the CO2 Field Lab. About one tonne of CO2 was injected at 20 meters depth and the movement of the gas was monitored. Chief scientist Erik Lindeberg at SINTEF, and Svein Staal Eggen from Gassnova inspects the monitoring of the CO2 during the shallow injection which was...

Trygve Brautaset and his colleagues at SINTEF work in the discipline known as synthetic biology. Both groups are working on the industrial use of microorganisms – to which they have given new properties. Venter’s goal is to end up with a synthetic bacterium that can efficiently use sunlight and CO2 from the...
A bed has a particularly high carbon footprint and often ends up as waste after a few years. A team of researchers from SINTEF and the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) addressed the problem and obtained some encouraging results. Standard “We’ve revealed the total environmental...
...vaccines may offer us more targeted and less harmful lung cancer treatments. Stock photo: Shutterstock Standard In Norway, more than 3,300 people contract lung cancer every year. It is the second most common form of cancer among both women and men, after breast and prostate cancer, respectively. It also...
They are lightweight, strong, and resistant to corrosion and decay. In the future, bridges in Norway could be made of fibre-reinforced plastic elements, which extend their lifespans and reduce life cycle costs. It is a familiar scenario: An old concrete bridge with narrow pavements has to be widened...
Contact Project Coordinator of DemoCLOCK, Shahriar Amini A project funded by the European Union and led by SINTEF in Norway with ten other European partners aims to demonstrate a cost-effective CO2 capture technology that could herald a new generation of power-generation plants with integrated CO2 capture...

Working from home or from a cabin has become quite common. But how can IT developers and other teams collaborate most effectively when their workdays are not tied to a single location? That’s the question a research team from SINTEF has explored post-pandemic. For highly specialized workers, there’s...
