Protection run from Q1 2014 to Q1 2017, and is now finalised. A multilayer workwear system was developed, which includes a range of garments designed to enable the workers to operate both efficiently and thermally comfortable in temperatures ranging from 0 °C to -30 °C (WCT), and which can be adjusted according...
...place Norway in the forefront with respect to research, innovation and implementation within the field of energy efficient zero-emission buildings. The main objective of ZEB is to develop competitive products and solutions for existing and new buildings that will lead to market penetration of buildings...
Document how introduction of hydrogen as energy carrier in Norway is influenced and restricted by the characteristics of the existing Norwegian energy system. Develop alternative scenarios and identify market segments and regions of the Norwegian energy system where hydrogen may play a significant role...
The project is a concept evaluation for innovative energy and climate solutions in buildings, building areas and energy systems. The evaluation would be conducted in connection with new constructions as well as renovation of existing buildings at Tiller high school (Tiller VGS). The new plans for the...
...of implicit knowledge, manual work and trial and error. Specialists are forced to spend their time on manual work and important aspects of proposed development may be overlooked. The Norwegian startup Spacemaker was founded on the idea of digitizing this process and providing computational decision support...
...emissions, 85% less NOx emissions and 99% less SOx and particle emissions. Its impact is even more significant when used instead of coal. Therefore, natural gas will be one of the most important energy sources for bridging the gap between today's high-carbon powered world and the long-term renewable-energy...
...manoeuvring models is being conducted in the R&D project SimVal (“Sea Trials and Model Tests for Validation of Shiphandling Simulation Models”, founded by the Research Council of Norway). The main objective of the project is to develop and apply a method for the validation of numerical ship models used in engineering...
...complex due to the integration of renewables and realization of smart grids. The transient overvoltage stresses on components will increase due to the more flexible system topologies, more frequent switching operations, and increased usage of cables and power electronic converters. Safe implementation...
...efficient use of sea transportation and efficient quay operations within the forest value chain, in order to increase the quantities of timber and wood related products transported by ship in Coastal Norway. Hence, the project will also help to stimulate regional growth and use of local timber in the Norwegian...
CAPTUS will demonstrate sustainable and cost-effective pathways to produce high-added value RECs in EIIs by valorizing industrial carbon emissions and integrating renewable electricity surplus. Nowadays, due to ambitious climate policies, energy intensive industries (EIIs) are facing a major challenge:...
...administered, and where they could be best located, which are highly relevant questions for a sustainable development of the industry that safeguards other societal interests and competing claims to space. Compareit addresses the topic "Societal perspectives, governance and markets" and will shed light...
...samples. By analyzing recovered downhole materials and compare to available data from logging-and monitoring tools, we can answer questions such as: When, where, why and how does materials fail when they are present in a CCS well environment? When and how should various matrials be remediated? Which materials...
...(Improved vessel design and operation) aims to improve the design and operation of vessels. Better operation will include giving the captain a better basis for making decisions that affect fuel consumption. At the same time, more transparency in relation to energy use provide greater focus and effort on these...
...terms of fatalities and injured people, and in terms of lost values. In response to this challenge, the Fire Research and Innovation Centre (FRIC) started in 2019. The main objective of the centre is to increase knowledge within the field of fire science in order to support decisions and develop better...
A collaborative forum gathering various stakeholders to explore key topics in the field of smart buildings and publish actionable insights to help tackle challenges in this industry. Over the years, buildings have increasingly become automated, evolving into what are known as “smart buildings”. These...
The project improves industrial energy efficiency by integrating geothermal energy with high-temperature heat pumps and heat-driven cooling systems, ensuring environmental sustainability and operational flexibility. It supports the energy transition by promoting clean, renewable geothermal resources for...
...release from an aquaculture plant, and this implies a cost to the producer. At present, there is no established system for collection and reuse of RAS release water into new productions such as in aquaponics. Moreover, existing aquaponics systems have large area footprints and production is mainly developed...
Chatbots for better and more efficient mental health services for young people. Chatbots, or conversational user interfaces, are digital services with which human users interacts through natural language. The recent developments within artificial intelligence, coupled with the broad popular uptake of...
...from combustion in the energy and industry sectors. To mitigate climate change and maintain an ambitious CO2 reduction target in a fossil fuels dominated society, Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) must be implemented rapidly. Several technologies have been thought of and developed to capture CO2 from...
...the fields of automation and autonomy. The project is funded by the Norwegian Research Council's BIA-program. NAP will develop technology for zero defect manufacturing within the fields of automation and autonomy. In other words, unmanned production cells that can evaluate and make smart decisions based...
