SINTEF Fisheries and Aquaculture has for years worked with environmental analysis of Norwegian seafood. We have, among other things, shown where and how the Norwegian fishing and aquaculture industries can reduce their climate impact. Food products' environmental impact - especially their impact on...
...fisheries, marine mammals and the extraction of hydrocarbons for the next 20 years; with particular attention to environmental sensitivities and sustainability. These meso-economic issues will be extended to the macro-economic scale in order to highlight trans-sectoral implications and provide an integrated...
Our primary goal of the project is to develop and test an optical sensor and a prediction model of winter road surface condition Background – why did the project begin. Why is It relevant? In the project E39 Kristiansand west - Mandal east, AF Gruppen is building a 19 km new motorway for Nye Veier....
The Norwegian Fuel Cell and Hydrogen Centre is a joint initiative taken by three major Norwegian R&D stakeholders (SINTEF, IFE and NTNU) engaged in Fuel Cells and Hydrogen (FCH) technologies and has a clear nation-wide character and impact. Our main goal is to be an operative centre of advanced laboratories...
...aluminium in bridges. Different solutions will be tested in terms of feasibility, capacity, stability and cost-effectiveness. Today, aluminium is used primarily in shorter and smaller bridges where weight and / or durability are crucial. For medium-sized bridges, the use of aluminium decks supported by concrete...
...towards the boost and control of the heat supply temperature according to processes needs. The project will evaluate to what extent high share of solar heat heating and cooling will allow to reduce the dependence of industrial processes on carbon energies and associated polluting emissions, and to quantify...
Hellum Braathen and Gloria Azalde We carried out a literature review on sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) of girls with disabilities. The review was carried out using a scoping view methodology, and included an overview and thematic analysis of available literature, and uncovered gaps...
...storage and to improve monitoring capabilities. This will be accomplished by improving the imaging of the CO2 plume and the quantification of the injected CO2 at the Ketzin pilot site in Germany. Our work will combine the methodologies and expertise from the German and Norwegian CO2 sites (Ketzin and Svelvik)...
MISSION will develop and demonstrate three new SF6-free switchgear components for medium and high voltage (MV and HV). MISSION contributes to minimising both the use of fossil fuels and emissions of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere by Developing SF6-free switchgear for AC and DC systems will enable...
Provide repeatable and accurate data to forecast and monitor natural hazards such as snow avalanches, floods, landslides. Build an autonomous and modular geo-drone platform and develop innovative real-time data processing- and data analysis approaches to help in decision-making. First demonstration on...
...clean energy and mobility solutions in the most sustainable way. But this green transition will generate an exponential growth in demand for raw materials, such as Rare Earth Elements for the production of permanent magnets. Process Technology - Sustainable Energy - Metal Production and Processing -...
...sustainable cooling and heating in India by promoting natural refrigerants, reducing emissions, and boosting cold chain efficiency in food, seafood, and building sectors. Access to efficient, climate-friendly heating and cooling is becoming increasingly vital due to rising temperatures and growing concerns...
Norway. From the early development of DRGs, until the more recent changes in the overall block funding and capitation. Funding health services is determining how the distribution between different actors and different services should be. Sintef has had a central role in this field for a long time, from the...
In this project, we aim at increasing our competence and developing new polymer or hybrid capsule demonstrators using a range of techniques and materials. Nano- and microcapsules are currently of high interest in many applications where protection of ingredients is needed or a specific effect by controlled...
...in fuel cell testing, quality assurance and safety of fuel cells especially efforts on harmonization, benchmarking and validation of a collection of test protocols, testing procedures and measurement methodologies to facilitate standardization in the field and to analyse meta-gaps in this area. FCTEDI...
..."Value from waste and critical materials" is an AERTO initiative aiming on sustainable recovery of scarce metals and safe management of nanowaste. The projects' overall objective is to foster greater RTO cooperation within Europe and to achieve important efficiency gains by exploiting synergies within...
...exploitation of Norwegian production and balancing services to efficiently accommodate an increasing share of new renewable power in Norway and the rest of Northern Europe. While these opportunities may boost the value of Norwegian hydro power and also help value and place new Norwegian renewable sources...
Maintenance and rehabilitation of hydropower plants involves projects with substantial economic and safety consequences. The main challenge for the decision maker is, based on an overall assessment, to prioritize and select the right projects at the right time. Achieving the potential benefit of a more...
The aim of this research project is to study and quantify the relationship between increased life expectancy and the future needs for health and care services. The population is getting older, and life expectancy is increasing. This can affect public finances through several channels. Among other things...
...covers two important and unresolved topics in multiphase flows; scaling and uncertainty. Cooperation between SINTEF, IFE and NTNU will provide a new combination of competence for increasing the confidence in multiphase flow modelling, looking more thoroughly into these topics. Scaling and uncertainty have...
