SINTEF is leading RESIST, a major EU-funded project aimed at developing new knowledge and solutions for climate adaptation...
TRACE develops knowledge and methods for the sustainable development of the transport sector. Nature and the environment are under increasing pressure. Therefore, we need to develop transport systems that better consider what nature can tolerate. TRACE is a research centre working to determine how the...
Model and reduce the uncertainties in lifetime prediction of marine risers based on targeted probability levels using probablistic and multi-fidelity modelling relying on measurement data. The oceans, with their relentless waves, strong currents, and floating platforms, pose significant challenges for...
The project aims to design, validate and build an integrated prototype demonstrator that utilizes an immersion cooling system in combination with new, highly efficient materials and systems for long-term thermal energy storage. Additionally, various exploitation pathways for the recovered heat—such...
OptiFish aims to develop, test, and validate technologies that will improve onboard monitoring of catch volumes and fish health, enabling fishers to improve the sustainability of their operations and to better meet control requirements. More specifically, the technologies investigated during the project...

Heating and cooling applications constitute more than 40% of national electricity demands. If we can develop means for recovery and large-scale storage...
...greener, and more efficient. Challenges in the construction industry The construction industry plays an important role in the European economy, contributing almost 9% to its GDP. But the industry faces several challenges: Shortage of skilled workers Slow technology adoption Worker safety and productivity...
CCS Midt-Norge is an industrial cluster that investigates the opportunities and challenges related to CO2 capture and storage (CCS) for companies in mid-Norway. As part of this work, the cluster will maps different strategies for developing CO2 management infrastructure in the region. This infrastructure...
...reduce the cost of green hydrogen, and the Autostack project is investigating how such a cost reduction can be achieved through mass production of PEM (proton exchange membrane) electrolyser stacks. The current state of the art production methods are low-volume and based on manual processes. Mass production...
For year-round operation, reliable raw material supply to the market, and increased profitability in the whitefish industry, live storage of cod is an important contributor. The Fishing Activities Regulations allow fish to be kept in intermediate storage cages for up to 12 weeks before they must be...
...access and sustainability, are expected to become increasing challenges. Hybrid power plants can answer to many of these challenges. Currently, however, the number of large-scale hybrid power plants in operation is very limited. Business cases for hybridization are still being developed, and in most...
...cities through cheaper and simpler solar cell systems. The building integrated photovoltaics sector can benefit from innovations in construction and solar energy alike, even moreso when the two are in sync. In the PVadapt project, combined innovations in modular construction and modular photovoltaics...
The primary objective of this project is to develop and apply a cost-efficient CO2 monitoring concept using time-lapse CSEM and demonstrate its readiness for the future Norwegian large-scale CO2 storage project (Smeaheia/Johansen). CO2 Capture and Storage (CCS) is nowadays considered a viable option...

Project aim The aim of the project is to enhance our understanding of erosion and scale formation in pneumatic conveying systems and to develop a method for...
...project is to implement WAAM and LMD processes for repair and refurbishment of offshore components, fulfilling O&G material requirements, with a measurable cost reduction and reduced lead time. Lifetime extension of offshore structures is urgent for ensuring the development and optimal management of Norwegian...
...used in health care, industrial cooling systems, air purification and gas storage. The recent 20 years have seen the discovery of new classes of hybrid nanoporous materials (NPMs). It includes amorphous mesoporous aluminosilicates and Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs). Despite the great potential of this...
...the fate and effects of subsea mine tailing disposal in Norwegian fjords With a growing demand for mineral resources, mining activities are increasing on a national and global scale. One of the most important environmental issues and economic burdens of industrial mining is the safe disposal and storage...
Smartphones and tablets can support children and adolescents with ADHD and/or autism and their families to organise and manage their everyday activities. In the Erre mulig project we aim at finding out what such ICT solutions should contain, and how they can best be provided. Practical technology trials...
...adsorbent regeneration. The overall objective of proposed project CAESAR is the reduction of energy penalty and costs of the SEWGS CO2 capture process through optimization of sorbent materials, reactor- and process design. It is emphasized that with an optimized SEWGS process CO2 avoidance cost could be reduced...
