...safe and reliable. SINTEF conducts research on how to make CO2 transport as economical, environmentally friendly and safe as possible. A growing need for carbon capture and storage (CCS) requires new CO2 transport solutions, both offshore and onshore. Since CO2 will normally not be captured and stored...
In the Horizon Europe project ReSoURCE, SINTEF and Norsk Elektro Optikk scientists, together with partners from five countries, develop a sensor-based system for the recycling of refractory products , striving to reduce Europe’s carbon emissions significantly. Extractive industries, including refractory...
In a letter to President Barroso and Commissioners the CCS Leadership Coalition, consisting of industry, NGOs and researchers calls on the European Commission to take urgent policy action critical to put CCS back on track, in alignment with the EU’s energy, climate and industrialisation objectives. The...

My work...
Currently, oil, gas and electricity are all used for heating in a number of industrial processes. If heat pumps can be used instead, this will provide a long-awaited environmental boost and a greening of the bottom line, according to Bantle (left) and Nekså.

...for the development, construction and installation of a 225 kW floating wind-turbine for research on offshore wind energy. “Hywind” is the name of the wind-turbine concept that is being developed by Statoil. Construction of the new turbine will now give research and industry open access to test data...
Verdal with subsequent testing by SINTEF. The results will be important for selection of steels for more thorough examination in Tasks 2.2 and 2.3. If better HAZs and weld metals are available, the results may influence the Project Guidelines since these were made based on materials with insufficient robustness...
As a producer, processor and distributor of materials (glass, ceramics, plastics, cast iron, etc.), Saint-Gobain transforms raw materials into advanced products for use in our daily lives, as well as developing tomorrow's new materials. Saint-Gobain operates in 64 countries worldwide, s one of the world's...
Due to the way Li & Lim generated the test instances, the number of tasks in these instances are different and slightly higher than the nominal value. Here you find instance definitions and the best known solutions (to our knowledge) for the 200 tasks instances of Li & Lim's PDPTW benchmark problems...
Almost four out of five travellers prefer solutions that offer automatic payment of toll fees and ferry tickets, even when these involve handing over personal data. The growing use of electronic registration and storage of data means that huge amounts of data are being gathered in connection with transport...
Exchanging electric power between Norway and Denmark is an old idea, but the link between the two countries only became feasible when developments in technology meant that we could lay a submarine cable across the Skagerrak. Laying a subsea power cable – in this case, to the Valhall platform in the...
...to us, and that they don’t break down naturally, says Per Stenstad at SINTEF. They accumulate in waste water and soil". Photo: Thor Nielsen. In a laboratory in Trondheim, researchers have managed to create minute particles with some very desirable properties, such as the ability to capture and break...

...half complete, but we are already seeing the first fruits. A flexible and robust electricity grid The electricity distribution grid must adapt to the ever-changing ways we generate and use energy. To cope with these changes and the increased demand, better solutions have to be developed across many...
The special weathering steel described by the author of this article was used extensively in the construction of crossing bridges and road equipment, such as crash barriers and signage poles, along the stretch of road from Kolomoen to Dal near Gardermoen.

...signal to produce green hydrogen on an industrial scale will be given on July 2 2021. The new electrolyser will have a peak capacity of 10 megawatts and will be able to produce up to 1,300 tonnes of hydrogen per year. This corresponds to the amount of hydrogen required to drive about 16 million kilometers...
...number and location of cages). Detailed analysis can also give estimates of the maximal advisable production at a new site, with regard to avoiding an extended fallowing period between production cycles. Integration of numerical models from various disciplines has been a focus in CREATE, and this project...
Our respiratory system is complicated and differs from person to person. This makes the treating of sleep apnea a demanding exercise. Illustration: Shutterstock / Alex Kock Blog Sleep apnea occurs when the soft parts of the upper airways vibrate so violently that they collapse during sleep. Obstructive...
A healthy marine ecosystem, like one that includes algae types Sargassum and Gongolaria, is a beautiful sight. But large parts of the ocean are under pressure.
