...storage density of more than 15 MWh/m3 at low cost to produce heat and electricity in winter. Renewable electricity and heat can be produced cheaply today and short-term storage solutions for evening out mismatches between production and demand are available at low cost. However, technologies for storing...
...in the Research and Development of Wind Turbine Systems. The overall objective of the Annex was to assist the planning and design of wind farms by facilitating a coordinated effort to develop wind farm models suitable for use in combination with software packages for simulation and analysis of power...
Laboratory for indoor vertical farming and optimisation of energy consumption for lighting. Vertical farming is a weather and climate-proof type of agriculture where all parameters affecting plants’ growth can be monitored and controlled. It represents a possible solution to provide food for a growing...
...education and innovation. SINTEF is one of seven partner institutions of the Centre for Digital Life Norway (DLN). On the website www.digitallifenorway.org you find news from the centre; events; links to social media and newsletter; and overview of SINTEF’s representatives in the board and the competence...
...role in health and disease of the host. Detailed understanding of gut microbiota–host interactions is therefore of great importance as this may be used to find new treatments to various diseases and increase the well-being of humans and animals. The gut microbiota market (health, food and feed industry)...
...industry is lice. SINTEF Fisheries and Aquaculture uses its interdisciplinary expertise to find solutions to the problem. At the institute it is research activities within several control strategies. Biological control Technical/chemical control Delousing systems for cages and well boats Testing of chemicals...
Many of the oil and gas reservoirs are found in weakly consolidated sandstone formations. During production sand grains might be loosened from the formation and follow the hydrocarbons. The amount of grains in the flow can be neglectable, however, sometimes it cause serious problems for the production...
Living Lab approach towards community engagement and awareness raising to facilitate Climate Positive Circular Communities transition What is the relationship between the ARV project and community engagement? Enhancing community engagement, environment and well-being is one of the nine thematic focus areas...
...describe, compare and analyze two regional international regulatory and governance frameworks addressing marine plastic litter in order to draw conclusions for possible solutions in the Arctic, seeking synergies and interplay mechanisms between a possible circumpolar arrangement and the two regional ones...
...examining the interactions of rural and coastal areas in a Norwegian context. COASTAL Squared builds upon the H2020 project COASTAL, which formulates and evaluates business solutions and policy recommendations aimed at improving the coastal-rural synergy to foster rural and coastal development while preserving...
...started as a small-scale initiative from Brevik Engineering AS and SINTEF and investigated the potential for ship transport in CCS- and possible pathways to reduce the cost of CO2 transportation. The work showed that more investigation was needed, and several partners joined in an application that was submitted...
Disability and society The last 20–30 years have seen an important change in our understanding of disability. From a previous individual perspective on causes and interventions, a social and civil rights approach has taken over. Much of the focus is now on the human and physical environment and how this...
...order to lead to cost-effective and energy-efficientmultiphase transport solutions Oil-water dispersions play an important role in the oil and gas production system as they have a direct effect on the pressure drop in transport lines. Reliable pressure drop predictions and multiphase flow model capabilities...
...computing continuum Objective DataCloud delivers a toolbox of new languages, methods, infrastructures, and prototypes for discovering, simulating, deploying, and adapting Big Data pipelines on heterogeneous and untrusted resources. DataCloud separates the design from the run-time aspects of Big Data pipeline...
...the globe. Surplus heat recovery and re-utilization is therefore of great significance, and has the potential of being a major factor in reaching national and international energy and environment goals. Direct re-use of surplus heat would be the most efficient and cost-effective alternative, but is...
Research in chemistry and materials science has traditionally been based on laboratory experiments. It is, however, also possible to compute the properties of molecules and materials using mathematical models based on basic theoretical physics, and these methods have undergone an enormous development...
Norwegian Directorate for Civil Protection (DSB) assigned SINTEF to identify information that can be used for periodic monitoring and evaluation of safety development in and around establishments that handle large amounts of hazardous chemicals. The report is a contribution to DSB's work as a coordinating...
This project has now been completed as of September 2023 and this website will no longer be updated. However, all content will still remain available. Final popular science presentation The final report can be read here The national and international fishing industry faces major challenges in reducing...
