An international panel with participants from government, research and industry was unanimous in its recommendation: if we are to reach zero emissions by 2050, we must develop and scale up CCS technology. Maren Sundli, from the Research Council of Norway, started the proceedings by quoting a recommendation...
...the development of robot technology and the cybernetics community at NTNU/SINTEF is one of the world leaders in the field of snake robotics. At last twenty people are working on robotics, which is one of SINTEF ICT’s major areas of involvement. Erik Kyrkjebø and Ingrid Schjølberg at SINTEF ICT together...
...3D ultrasound and image guidance in one of Africa's biggest children's hospitals. This could make it easier to treat brain diseases in children. SINTEF researchers Tormod Selbekk and Reidar Brekken both work with ultrasound on a daily basis and their doctoral degrees are in ultrasound and its clinical...
...explores how to do just that. What happens to our waste affects us all Transitioning to a circular economy could make society both more sustainable and more competitive. However, with a circularity rate of only 2.4% (2020), the Norwegian waste management system, like the whole society, must evolve –...

PZT and AlN The ceramic materials PZT (lead zirconate titanate, Pb[Zr,Ti]O3) and AlN (aluminium nitride) are two of the most efficient piezoelectric materials. The MEMS-pie project develops robust and flexible fabrication routes for piezoelectric MEMS with these two materials. The procedures are based...
...capture and storage require more research on safe and cost-effective large-scale storage methods. At the Svelvik CO2 Field Lab, industry and researchers can test technology for monitoring CO2 storage in wells. With the Net-Zero Industry Act, the European Commission has set a target of capturing and storing...
...the way we generate and use energy. Batteries are a key enabler to reach this goal, if they can be made sustainable, safe and affordable with ultra-high performance at the same time. The initiative’s research roadmap has been developed through a European-wide consultation process and identifies three main...
...climate targets, and the best and latest research and innovation in the field are being showcased at the EERA DeepWind conference. EERA DeepWind 2023 is an international event that will present ongoing research and innovation related to deep-sea offshore wind farms, both bottom-fixed and floating. It is...
...for MW sized PEM electrolysers and to construct and demonstrate a prototype of this stack. The prototype will demonstrate a capability to produce hydrogen with an efficiency of at least 75% (LHV) at a current density of 1.2 Acm-2 with a stack cost below €2,500/Nm3h-1 and a target lifetime in excess of...
...working with understanding and predicting failure of well barriers, as well as understanding how drilling operations and well design influence long-term well integrity during production and after abandonment. Important areas are: Integrity of annular sealants , such as cement and other sealant materials...
...mechanical oil recovery in Arctic and ice-covered waters will be to further improve and adapt existing concepts. Taking into account the remoteness of many of the Arctic areas in question, it is important that equipment for combat of oil in ice can be used in both open waters and water with ice cover. In this...

...(ESA), Thales Alenia Space, SINTEF and Terma are now completing a study identifying alternatives to the cameras currently deployed on spacecrafts and space rovers. Both ESA and NASA are on the lookout for better and less resource intensive camera systems for current and future space missions. In the previous...
Fishing gear and nets often end up as plastic waste. Photo: Fjellfrosk Media/Dsolve Notes Most of the plastic waste currently found in the oceans is derived from the fisheries and aquaculture sectors. The plastic fishing gear used in these sectors may contain any one of several components and chemicals...
...tests in laboratory and various medium and large scale field tests. The final verification will take place during a large-scale field experiment in 2009. The experiments will be carried out as a cooperation between a number of scientists and organisations (US, Norway, Russia and others). At present we...
