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...
A longer life for transformers will lower the environmental footprint and reduce the use of resources, according to the authors.

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...

...populations A new hydropower plant will almost always result in changes to a river and its ecosystems. This will commonly lead to major impacts on fish populations. Fish will be unable to reach areas where they swam in the past, and the physical conditions where they can still live will be changed. The new dam...
The authors of this article suggest that 3D printing is perfect for reducing both manufacturing costs and greenhouse gas emissions in the shipping sector, but that things are still being carried out in the same old ways.

...results and technology though the development of Software Toolkits. APS-Spline library developed from 1978-1988 a software toolkit programmed in FORTRAN for the definition and interrogation of B-spline represented curves. Among the unique features were the approximation through knot removal and the recursive...

...environment. These tests will be performed in two different pilot plants: one that is fed by a solid fuel flow of 1 megawatt of thermal input (1 MWth) and one with 150 kilowatts of thermal input (kWth). Last week, research scientists from SINTEF were given a tour of Technische Universität (TU) Darmstadt’s...
CO2 heat pumps. Photo: Colourbox Standard Energy consumption in the hotel industry is high and contributes to global warming. Researchers have been studying energy consumption, available energy sources and heating systems in the hotel sector over a five-year period. They have come up with two important...
Highlights of MRST 2017a Wells and boundary conditions in AD solvers has been rewritten from the ground up, including support for multisegment wells with support for inflow control devices and nonlinear pressure drop models for friction. We now also support boundary conditions and source terms for problems...
There’s not a lot you can do when the internet goes down, and your panel heaters and electric hob suddenly go cold. Fortunately, power cuts don’t happen very often. But, according to Chief Research Scientist Gerd Kjølle (right), the electrification of society is putting major demands on supply security...

Major breakthroughs in both machine learning and so-called deep learning have provided us with automated methods for net inspection. Photo SFI Exposed/SINTEF Blog You may already have heard about...
When a PC user changes his location, his environment also changes and problems often arise. However, with the aid of the appropriate software the computer’s software can be modified automatically to match the changed situation. Most of us who have sat on a train using a PC have experienced low battery...
A wood fibre only 100 nanometres thick will help to give us tomorrow’s plastic food packaging, if SINTEF and its partners are successful. Cellulose can be broken down into what is called microfibrillated cellulose. MFC consists of plant fibres that are only 100 nanometres in diameter, but can be extremely...
...gate in Oslo is buzzing. It’s not a buzz of voices, but comes from a machine in the corner – and a backup close by. It’s the sound of problems being solved. Bus drivers often have inflexible shift arrangements and unpractical plans. SINTEF created a new arrangement for the Nordic bus company Nobina whereby...

Low-trophic fish species are found in large quantities not far from the Norwegian coast, but at great depths, and are therefore rarely exploited. In the wild...
My name is Lise Jemblie and I am one out of two PhD students in the ROP project. In 2012 I finished a master in materials technology at NTNU with focus on hydrogen embrittlement. I went on to work in the oil- and gas industry. However, with the increased research on hydrogen embrittlement going on at...
