...that the development of wind farms and the production of wind turbines be both sustainable and cost-effective. To be cost-effective, the various components that make up a wind turbine – the foundation, blades, main bearing and gearbox for example – must be designed and built to survive for a long time...
Centre Mongstad (TCM) and SINTEF have for years been heavily involved with Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) activities. They now enter into a co-operation agreement where their capabilities will be jointly presented to the market. - TCM and SINTEF have a very positive dialogue, and now want to further...
...tool for setting up and simulating long-term, aquifer-wide CO2 storage scenarios, applied on real datasets of geological formations in the Norwegian North Sea. The simulation is based on the vertical equilibrium assumption, which allows for rapid simulations even for large temporal and spatial domains....
...of f(s,t) with respect to t, and finding the real root of R(s), α1,...,αr. Sturm-Habicht sequences here supplies an exact number of real root in the interval of interest. Then for each αi, i=1,...,r we compute the real roots of f(αi,t), βi,j, j=1,...,si,. For every αi and βi,j compute the number of half...
Aachmann at NTNU’s Department of Biotechnology and Food Science. Alginate is one of the substances extracted from algae and is by far the best known. This sugar is used in over 600 products, and selling it is no problem. It is used in ice cream, in various gels and to lessen the symptoms of acid reflux. Nevertheless...
Hydrogen is used in industry, and when it is utilised as a fuel it emits only water. Japan’s Kawasaki Heavy Industries (KHI) is currently studying for supplying Japan with CO2-free hydrogen. Both wind-power and natural gas can be transformed into hydrogen power. On behalf of KHI, and with additional financing...
...years, the species has evolved from living on rocks and ship hulls, to be a pest, which preferably settles into the nets of fish farms. Here they thrive so well, that they in no time can block the nets - thereby preventing essential water flow and oxygen supply. In addition they increase the weight load...

Our cooperation has covered both research and analyses aimed at preventing skin and ear infections in saturation divers...
...ships will increase the safety and competitiveness of the world’s oldest transport system, sea transport. SINTEF works together with the industry to develop new technology for autonomous ships. It is important to create new transport systems that meet the environmental and energy requirements of the future...
... The topic for this year's conference was to share new knowledge and create new opportunities in the transition to a circular economy. Norwegian and international companies, researchers, decision-makers and the Minister of Climate and Environment, Sveinung Rotevatn, were present. Sveinung Rotevatn was...
...cast irons depend upon the microstructure and alloying and alloying additions. The material microstructure varies with the cooling rate, which is very inhomogeneous in thick walled wind turbine components. Thus, documenting the microstructure distribution and hence the distribution mechanical properties...
