On 9 November the third ELEGANCY Consortium meeting was held in Brussels, Belgium. With ELEGANCY’s main research focus CCS and hydrogen in mind, the European Gas Research Group (GERG) was a perfect fit to host the event. GERG Brussels offices are in the UNESCO World Heritage listed building Hôtel van...
The concept of environmental design in regulated salmon rivers describes how to evaluate, develop and implement measures to improve living conditions for salmon populations in regulated rivers, while taking hydropower production into account.

Many oxides are excellent oxygen ionic conductors or mixed conductors, they may contain cations that easily may undergo redox reactions followed by uptake or release of oxygen. As such they are of interest for oxygen selective membranes, catalytic membranes and as metal...

...half of the global energy needs. In other words, capturing and using excess heat has enormous potential for industry. At SINTEF, we have a leading research community as well as laboratories, which help customers around the whole world to find and develop solutions for using excess heat or “waste heat” as...

...the Darcy velocity (total velocity) and lambda is the mobility, which depends on the water saturation S. The saturation equation (conservation of the water phase) is given as: where phi is the rock porosity, f is the Buckley-Leverett fractional flow function, and q_w is the water source term. We will...
...that makes plastic decompose in a short time when exposed to light and humidity. The additive also makes the plastic considerably stronger, and it is cheap to produce. This is all the result of a collaboration between the company and SINTEF,which began in 1999. MORBID START The relationship started when...
Plastic is made from fossil fuels and contains more energy than coal. Substituting industrial coal consumption with non-recyclable plastic enables us to resolve two problems. The plastic will not end up in landfill or in the sea, and we will reduce levels of coal consumption and thus also CO2 emissions. It’s...
TOO AGGRESSIVE: Moose on the road are a traffic problem in Norway.
