SINTEF is researching how society and business can facilitate a more sustainable transport system with zero climate emissions. The transport sector accounts for a significant share of the world's greenhouse gas emissions and poses an environmental and health risk in ever-growing urban communities. Sustainable...

The department of production technology delivers expertise within sensor-based robotics and flexible automation. These are important enabling technologies in order to be able to increase the degree of automation and competitiveness within the Norwegian manufacturing industry Real-time controlled robot...

...municipalities ensure that the water they supply is safe and that the water treatment is sustainable with minimal use of chemicals and energy. We work within the following fields: Process and system solutions for drinking water, aquaculture, and industrial process water: Process design (Membrane filtration...

...environments are the framework for people's lives and work, and represent an interaction between technical, functional and aesthetic qualities. We need a broad and complex knowledge of sustainability to meet society's challenges in energy use, climate, health, and demography. We work within the following fields:...

...infrastructure and other facilities in Arctic areas SINTEF combines Arctic field experience and interdisciplinary expertise in areas such as geotechnics, rock mechanics, building physics, materials technology and concrete technology for development of sustainable solutions for buildings, infrastructure and other...

...investment, and the order and prioritization of measures that provide optimal resource allocation. The key to good decisions is having a holistic perspective on time and space and how measures interact with existing infrastructure. This approach is used with the railway and transport sector, and has significant...

...in the development of functional materials and metallurgy, with state of the art synthesis, processing and characterization laboratories that allow for the development of new materials from gram- to pilot-scale, with fine control over composition, phase, and morphology from nano to mm scale. In the field...

Instead of discharging valuable nutrients and biochemicals we should rather save them by recycling. Biological recycling and reuse of organic and inorganic compounds for new bioproduction in industrial side streams are often based on natural processes adapted to industrial conditions. Success criteria...

Information and communication technology (ICT) solutions for smart cities are typically large and long-lived systems-of-systems, which will emerge through evolutionary incremental growth and innovation rather than upfront design. Cyber-physical systems where ICT monitors and controls physical objects...

...extensive experience in characterization of materials at the micron, nanometer and atomic scale using microscopy,diffraction and spectroscopic methods. We are specialized in tensile testing, shards impact tests, hardness measurement and structural analysis....

...in decision-making processes and the design of public services. User participation occurs when the user and the user organizations participate in the planning, implementing, and evaluating different measures. We work within the following fields: SINTEF offers research and consultancy related to user participation...

...specialized models and methods related to the flow of gases and liquids, and which is unavailable in commercial software. We have several in-house 1D and 3D CFD codes. Furthermore, we take part in the design of laboratory set-ups to be used for model development. We deliver data, analyses of models and methods...

...capacity, injectivity and long-term effects of the stored CO₂ is a must for establishing commercial storage operations. We investigate the mechanical and physical properties of the subsurface and the implications for the monitoring of the near-well area, the whole reservoir and the overburden. We combine...

...is the basis of production and wealth creation in all societies and is a fundamental arena of human expression. Most people have a basic desire to work. A significant part of our identity is linked to the professional role, about being valued, using skills and knowledge and of belonging. Our research...

Knowledge of reservoir fluid properties at reservoir and production conditions (density, viscosity, phase behaviour, composition) and how reservoir fluids interact (interfacial tension, miscibility, diffusion) is required to interpret flow experiments and to perform numerical simulation of such processes...

...acoustics. SINTEF can help with all relevant sound and vibration aspects in building projects. We study and develop solutions where sound plays a vital role through acoustic studies, calculations, and advanced measurements - both in the laboratory and field. We work within the following fields: Research-based...

...developers who daily work closely with scientists and clinicians theories, algorithms and new technology are rapidly developed, integrated and tested in the medical environment. The collaboration between the technical and the medical environment at SINTEF, NTNU and St. Olav's Hospital makes the path from idea...

MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical-System) based sensors, e.g. pressure sensors and accelerometers, are small, lightweight, cost efficient and suitable for high volume production. SINTEF MiNaLab...
