...license was granted and now the first seaweed seedlings have been deployed. The offshore facility will be used, among other purposes, to test how large-scale kelp cultivation can become a cost-effective and sustainable ocean-based carbon removal solution. The search for effective and sustainable solutions...
CO2Flow is designed to develop new models for the simulation and prediction of CO2 flow behaviour in pipelines. Norway plans to inject CO2 gas into storage reservoirs using a network of wells. The gas will be obtained from a variety of sources and will contain a variety of different contaminants. The research...
...implementing algorithms for CAD-systems it is desirable to both use parametric and implicit representations of curves and surfaces to make good algorithms. E.g., when intersecting two parametric curves of degree two or higher, p(s) and r(t), only using the parametric form will resulting in finding the zero...

Notes “This can bring Sweden closer to its target of achieving climate neutrality by 2045”, says Research Manager Kristin Jordal at SINTEF. May reduce CO2 emissions by 500,000 tons per year The aim is to investigate the possibilities...
...commissioned by Fiskebåt (a sector and employer organisation affiliated to the Norwegian Fishermen’s Association and representing the Norwegian marine fishing fleet). This wealth generation involved the employment of about 21,000 FTEs. The marine fleet thus contributed between 61 and 66 per cent to the entire...
EasyComposer is a service composition tool allowing end users to create and tailor their teleservices from simple service components. EasyComposer includes calendar and map functionality to enable service composition based on time and location events. Application domain EasyComposer exploits the generic...

Standard If we are to achieve the two-degree target and meet our commitments as set out in the Paris Agreement, we are entirely dependent on the technology that makes it possible to capture and store CO2. But it is widely assumed that carbon capture and storage (CCS) is expensive. Very expensive. However...
...neodymium (Nd) and dysprosium (Dy) is increasing much faster than production. These metals are used in technologies such as the generators that store power in wind turbines, and the electric motors that propel electric and hybrid cars. But they are also used in everyday products like computers and mobile phones...

One adult needs between 2 and 2.5 litres of drinking water per day. Dirty water is one of the main causes of disease, and the problem is greatest in poor areas. Photo: Thinkstock Ghana is a densely populated country with high levels of poverty, and access to clean water is a problem for many people...
CO2 a year. China has the biggest cement industry in the world, but most of its production is based on outdated technology, and since its plants are coal-fired, emissions of CO2 and dust are huge. The cement industry alone discharges 1.1 billion tonnes of CO2 a year, 26 times as much as Norway's total CO2...
...new EU funded project aims to develop better and more cost-effective components for fuel cell systems, which will make the systems more efficient and reliable for heavy-duty vehicles and other mobility sectors. As the world moves towards a more sustainable and greener future, hydrogen stands out as a key...
...wind turbines and eco-cars. But the scarcity of these metals is worrying the EU. The demand for metals such as neodymium (Nd) and dysprosium (Dy) is increasing much faster than production. These metals are used in technologies such as the generators that store power in wind turbines, and the electric...

...research-based innovation for competitive high value manufacturing in Norway. The centre is hosted by SINTEF Manufacturing AS, it has 14 industry partners, and SINTEF and NTNU as research partner. An analysis of the independent advisory firm Impello Management AS shows that the centre potentially can have an economic...
...image-processing system could prove to be an important tool for Norwegian agriculture and for the thousands of farmers who spray their fields with weed-killer every year. The program can distinguish between weeds and useful plants in real time during spraying, making it possible to spray only the plants...
We use modelling and simulations throughout the process of sensor development to gain insight into the relevant fundamental physical phenomena that influence the design process. Modelling Modelling offers many practical advantages, especially when starting at the early stages of development: It helps...
