Ex-drug and alcohol abusers who have completed their treatment need a simple support system and daily motivation. Now they are getting both – in a handy pocket format. How are my finances, and what must I do to get a place on a study course this autumn? Who can help me get housing benefit, and have I...
...from production to transport, sales and consumption – is a complex beast. Many aspects of the food system are good, but a lot is also wrong with it, according to Eva Falch, an associate professor at NTNU’s Department of Biotechnology and Food Science. NTNU, SINTEF and the Western Norway University of Applied...
Only a third of all electronic waste, so-called WEEE, is collected and recycled for reuse. Our homes are full of electronic devices, and if you check their contents you will be able to tick off almost all of the elements in the periodic table.

...carbon dioxide to its storage – in the pilot research project ‘Preem CCS’. The outcome of the project will enable more companies to use the technology and reduce their CO2 emissions. "I'm pleased SINTEF can contribute to development of the whole value chain in this important Swedish-Norwegian CCS-cooperation...
...transparency, we asked several experts from NTNU and SINTEF to separate the truths from the myths. SF6 is damaging to the environment: TRUE. Along with CFCs, HCFCs, HFCs and PFCs, SF6 is an industrial gas that doesn’t exist naturally in the atmosphere and so impacts the radiation balance, contributing...
The SINTEF and NTNU CCS Award is given for outstanding achievements within the field of carbon capture, transport and storage (CCS). Provided worthy candidates, the Award will be handed out for the fifth time at the 10th Trondheim CCS Conference (TCCS-10) in June 2019. https://blog.sintef.com/sinte...
...production, transport and disposal of building materials, and from construction and demolition, by producing more renewable energy – for example from solar panels – than they use. Assuming these areas comprise a mix of residential and non-residential buildings, the excess heat and cooling from businesses...
...a deckfile The problem is defined in 'INPUT_NUMGRAD.DATA' which is a simple Cartesian grid with uniform permeability. We read the deck and create the grid, rock and fluid structures from the resulting output. This requires the deckformat module. require deckformat current_dir = fileparts(mfilename('fullpath'));...
...utilization of decision support methods requires that the methods are adapted to the decision context where they are used. We want to integrate behavioural and organizational theories of decision making in a way that enables us to understand how conflicting objectives related to safety are handled in decision-making...
Hot work: As more and more women are being recruited into the fire services, it is more important than ever to find out whether they are more vulnerable to heat stress than men.

CO₂ emissions are difficult to avoid in several industrial processes, but with CCS technology these emissions can be removed. SINTEF and Aker Carbon Capture (ACC) are now continuing their collaboration to deliver the CO₂ capture solutions of the future. CO₂ capture plays a key role in the work towards...
...currently responsible for 40% of global energy use and climate gas emissions. This is an under-communicated fact in a world where vehicle traffic and exhaust emissions get far more attention. In the future, however, we will start to see construction materials and high-tech systems integrated into building shells...
...the film industry to show the world why carbon capture and storage (CCS) is important. The result has won widespread praise, not least from the environmental organisation Bellona. BIGCCS - The International CCS Research Centre - is led by SINTEF, and has an annual research budget of NOK 50 million. The...
Manufacturing Notes “Digital technologies and tools are opening up a wealth of opportunities for the industry, but it’s easy to get lost in the complex landscape. To achieve the goals of greater environmental, economic and human sustainability, engineers, scientists and industry leaders must make strategic...
