UbiCompForAll investigates using web-based technology to create a composition tool. The UbiCompForAll project provides notation and tool support to the end users for creating service compositions. Among other options, we have been working on a tool that runs on web browsers. The advantage of a web browser-based...

...energy. It is also important that the energy is green and renewable. Photo: Sigurd Fandango Standard Surrounded by the sea off the coast of Helgeland in Mid-Norway, lies an island called Myken. This small island has about ten permanent inhabitants, and for more than 50 years has been supplied with electricity...

...production is based on traceable, sustainable raw materials, is the message of our bloggers. It is clear that the environmental impact of biofuels and their costs are mainly dependent on the feedstock that is used to produce the fuel. Most biofuels produced today come from sugar, starch or oil-rich-plants...

In June 2023, SINTEF and TU Darmstadt ran a joint test campaign at SINTEF’s 150 kWth CLC pilot unit as part of the work to design a 10 MWth chemical looping combustion (CLC) plant for the waste-to-energy industry. This activity was a spin off from the ACT project, LOUISE. The main aim of ACT LOUISE...

...water. Runoff from roads, car parks and other impermeable surfaces may contain contaminants such as heavy metals, organic environmental toxins, salts and solid particles, which in turn can pollute rivers and groundwater. For this reason it is important to develop and utilise systems that can decontaminate...

...fewer than 519 pupils and 51 teachers from 30 high schools took part in this year's nationwide Ocean Space Race ship design competition. Never before has the competition had so many participants, who compete in the categories for best model ship, vessel design, wind turbine design and open-class marine design...

Expenditure) is commonly repaid within 2-6 years due to saved operational costs from less energy use and in Norway reduced CO₂ taxes. The COMPACTS project will enable more efficient use of energy from oil and gas production on the Norwegian Continental Shelf – an industry sector with CO₂ emissions that make...

...says something about which business activities are sustainable, and which aren’t. Helping investors to make the right choices The EU taxonomy is a classification system that says something about which business activities are sustainable and which aren’t. The aim is to distinguish between activities defined...

Geological models are becoming increasingly large and detailed to account for heterogeneous structures on different spatial scales. To obtain simulation models that are computationally tractable, it is common to remove spatial detail from the geological description by upscaling. We have developed an...

An outstretched hand gives me a firm welcome. Then it pulls on a big blue glove and dives into a brown paper bag. A second later, chief scientist Aud Wærnes has a fistful of stuff that could be icing sugar – if only it hadn’t been pitch black. “Did you know that car tyres were white until the world got...

Highlights of MRST 2020a The new release comes with a number of bug fixes, improvements and increased documentation coverage. We especially highlight: Several new modules for domain decomposition and standardized setup of examples. A much faster direct-assembly AD backend with a corresponding linear...

If Elfy succeeded, the aircraft of the future might be electric, environmentally friendly, more quiet, and able to fly shorter routes from more locations. In this 260 metre-long research tank, a model of the hull is towed at different angles to find the optimal shape. Photo: SINTEF Standard A Norwegian...

SINTEF made an operating profit of NOK 106 million in 2014, and a pre-tax profit of NOK 143 million. A number of one-off items have had a positive effect on the financial result, but profit from ordinary operations has been inadequate. Gross operating revenues were NOK 2936 million compared with NOK...

Standard Today’s AI is artificial intelligence, but it just talks. It doesn’t make a single decision, and it doesn’t make things happen. We’re talking about ChatGPT, Claude, Deepseek, Gemini, Grok, Meta AI and the other AI variants that you hear about all the time. They are just language models. Now a brand...

The best of both worlds The recipe is a combination of casting and forging. The method is based on an idea from SINTEF Materials and Chemistry, and it is currently being tested out by SINTEF and the Norwegian companies Raufoss Technology and Farsund Aluminium Casting in a four-year collaborative project...
