...farming should increase fivefold by 2050 and use at least 25% Norwegian-produced feed ingredients by 2034, we must look at new ingredient sources. 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...
...been subjected to comprehensive testing. Solveig Føreland, a toxicologist and occupational hygienist at St. Olav’s Hospital in Trondheim, was responsible for the trials. She points out that masks are usually made only in one size, and are designed to fit users with relatively large faces. DeMaskUs project...
...supervisors are Vladimir Galvita and Guy B. Marin. The study is carried out within the FASTCARD work package WP1 Hydrocarbon reforming. - Why did you choose to work within the area of biofuels and renewable energy? - The field of renewable energy is growing fast and is gaining more attention. People...
...personnel can use without difficulty. “Such devices must be compact and portable, and thus practical for those working outside the hospital environment – in ambulances, care homes or local doctors’ surgeries”, says Project Manager and Research Scientist Robert Schittny at SINTEF. Currently, the interpretation...
...hand-held PC with GPS can guide both pupil and instructor around the streets. Ivar Blikø is testing the GPS tool with his daughter who is about to take her driving test. In practice, this is a “digital driving instructor”, says inventor, company founder and SINTEF scientist Ivar Blikø. He is the man...
Chinese-European Emission-Reducing Solutions (CHEERS) project is to demonstrate how pet coke, lignite coal and wood-derived biomass can be safely burned to produce power or steam, while capturing CO2 and other harmful emissions, at a low cost. This is particularly important for utilising waste products for...
In 2021, salmon lice cost the aquaculture industry 167 billion kroner. Lice are also a major pest to any fish that are infected, and any risk of spread to wild salmon populations represents an environmental threat. Stock photo: iStock/NatureDiver Notes Salmon lice continue to remain one of the major...
Pink and insidious: a tiny animal has become an expensive neighbour for fish farmers. Now scientists intend to make it hot for the little pest, and without using toxic chemicals. The scientific name of the little hydroids is Ectopleura larynx. (In Norwegian they are known as “spring flowers”.) These...
...given up, and believed that these beads could only be made in weightless conditions. In space. But a Norwegian inventor disproved that. Today, the beads are saving cancer patients and giving us advanced electronics. Among other things. Photo: SINTEF Standard Jan Kai Nymoen was 30 years old and worked...

...operations and make them more efficient. Our main focus will be on construction vessels that sink install offshore subsea modules, says research manager in MARINTEK, Svein Peder Berge. The project has a three-year budget of NOK 21 million, half of which comes from the Research Council of Norway and the rest...
The building industry has not taken on board the idea of adapting to local climatic conditions, and is mainly supplying identically designed houses all over the country. Norwegian houses will be plagued by damp in the future, says the scientists, Photo: SINTEF Building Research. A good example...

...surfaces and hypersurfaces. The GAIA assessment project the preceded GAIA II was based on the work in [Dokken97] on approximate implicitization. In GAIA II we have addressed alternative approaches for approximate implicitization, such as approximation with lower order piecewise algebraic curves and surfaces...
...temperature fracture behaviour is one of the main concerns regarding steels and weldments for Arctic applications. In Arctic Materials I project, properties of steel and weldments at low temperature (mainly at -60°C) were investigated, and the first generation guideline was proposed. Deterministic design criteria...

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...
Environment Assembly (UNEA) in Nairobi to discuss a legally binding, global plastic treaty. Researcher Emily Cowan was present in person representing SINTEF, and after long negotiations, the members reached a resolution to begin discussions for such a treaty. Though we don’t have a treaty yet, this resolution...
...leading SINTEF’s research efforts in this field. “People go out and gather the molluscs along the shoreline. But many of the conditions needed for commercial farming are now in place”, he says. “We’ve succeeded, under laboratory conditions and for the first time in Norway, in hatching periwinkle eggs, raising...
