SINTEF focuses on the development of green and sustainable alloys with targeted properties. The array of our laboratory facilities, including casting lab., 3D-printer, Arc Melter, heat treatment...
SINTEF search

Commercial production of marine fish and other marine organisms depends on juveniles of high quality. SINTEF combines biological and technological expertise to develop production protocols and...
We use mathematical models to simulate the production potential of low trophic aquaculture species such as seaweeds. We also study how these cultures interact with the marine environment in order...
Drinking water

SINTEF helps 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:...
An increase in electrification and distributed energy resources causes increased challenges in the distribution grid. These challenges can be lack of transfer capacity or poor power quality. In...
Seakeeping and manouvering
One of SINTEF Ocean's core expertise areas is seakeeping and manoeuvring of ships. Our services are related to both research and development – both through model tests, numerical simulations...
SINTEF has long experience in developing models for optimization for maritime logistics related to offshore wind farms. We have also developed decision support tools to aid stakeholders to select...
Transmission systems

A transmission system consists of overhead lines and underground cables, combined with power transformers for voltage level conversion. It represents the backbone of any modern electrical power...
Flexible distribution grid
The amount of demand response and distribution generation from renewable energy sources will increase in the future distribution grid, at the same time as the grid should be robust and reliable....
Rehabilitation of hydropower plants
In a changing market, knowing the best time to rehabilitate your hydropower plant can present a major challenge. Effective analytical tools will help you make sound decisions. Our software can be...
Liquefaction of hydrogen
SINTEF is working with both the liquefaction of hydrogen and value chains in which liquid hydrogen is incorporated into either part or the whole of the chain in question. In particular, hydrogen...
Mechanics and structural engineering
We work with research and development activities in mechanics and structural engineering, where the goal is to find component- and design solutions that utilize material properties and design...
Indoor Climate
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...
Fire safety in buildings
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...
Pipelines, Risers and Cables

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...
Fuel Characterization and Emissions

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 Value Chain
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...
Paleo-residual oil
In certain geologic and hydrodynamic settings, an additional residual oil zone exists below the traditionally defined base (oil-water contact) of an oil reservoir. These residual oil zones exist...
CO2 storage simulation
Injection of CO2 in geological formations is the major option for the final step in CCS (CO2 Capture and Storage). The Reservoir Technology group has since before 1990 been developing technology...
Thermodynamics

We are working to determine and predict the transport-related and thermodynamic properties of fluids. This knowledge is essential in order to optimize design and operation of processing equipment...
