Operation and maintenance costs constitute to a significant part of the total costs of offshore wind power. Therefore, the development of improved and new solutions for operation and maintenance...
Since 1988 we have conducted industrial focused research on additive manufacturing together with the NTNU. The present AM research group is the most merited in Norway and is well recognized as a...
We have extensive experience with testing brake couplings, both explosive tests and extensible and leak tests, and pull tests and fracture analysis on water connections....
Biomass is the only renewable carbon source and can therefore be used for production of renewable fuels and chemicals. Biofuels are foreseen as a promising alternative to today's fossil fuels,...
Since the beginning of the eighties SINTEF has accumulated an extensive and versatile competence within development of small-scale heating technologies for the residential sector through solid...
A good indoor climate in homes, schools and workplaces is the basis for health, well-being, and high productivity. Our expertise is to develop reliable and affordable solutions to reduce...
Building engineering comprises most technical aspects of building. This might be assembling work, air- and rain tightness solutions, choice of materials, etc. The subject is widely applied, and...
Built 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...
We offer research-based consultancy, calculations, analysis and assessments to ensure that fire safety solutions in buildings comply with regulations and standards. We also do research on fire...
SINTEF works to understand how and to what extent buildings promote, or inhibit, the purpose they are built for. Our buildings are built for specific purposes – be it teaching, working or living...
SINTEF Ocean has wide experience about marine structures, including pipelines, risers and cables. We have developed a unique numerical toolbox for calculating global structural responses, as well...
The fields of special expertise of the Department of Maritime Energy Systems comprise engine development, combustion, flue-gas and scrubbing technology, VOCs and field measurements. Our areas of...
MARINTEK possesses unique interdisciplinary competence that is in high demand in research, innovation and the analysis of maritime transportation systems. The Department of Maritime...
Geothermal energy systems cover systems for both shallow and deep geothermal wells. Shallow geothermal boreholes, 50 - 200 m, are used as heat source or sink for heat pumping systems. Deep...
SINTEF Energy Research has extensive experience in the development and use of numerical models for simulation of chemical reactive processes in laminar and turbulent flow for both single- (gas...
Condensation of CO2 in heat exchangers and separators occurs in processes for liquefaction of a CO2-rich gas phase, for example to increase purity of the gas, to meet ship transportation...
Electric and hybrid marine power systems for increased flexibility and reduced emissions and fuel consumption. The trend of the last decades has been increased use of hybrid electric propulsion...
Fuel characterization is the primary and a critical step in the evaluation of biomass and waste feedstocks' suitability for a thermal conversion process. Detailed and accurate characterization...
CCS chains are case and scenario sensitive, and each case often requires individual design for reaching the optimal solution. The main objective is to develop a consistent and transparent...
A modern high-voltage cable is a high-tech product where materials, design and production methods all contribute to a finished product with high reliability and long life. SINTEF conduct R&D...
