As the extent of petroleum activities and the extraction of other resources in the Arctic increases, shipping can expect to face new challenges. SINTEF is collaborating with the University of Tromsø and Akvaplan-niva on a case study that describes a chain of events in a realistic scenario of a ship...
...phosphorous being a finite and scarce mining resource. Therefore, discharging it into open water means this valuable macronutrient is lost forever. Moreover, it can even cause eutrophication, which occurs when water bodies become contaminated with minerals and nutrients, notably nitrogen and phosphorus. Thus,...
...software SICALC is based on the NORTIM software, and has been established by Avinor, the Norwegian Defence Estates Agency (NDEA), and SINTEF. NORTIM is the Norwegian model for aircraft noise. SICALC was made available for Avinor and NDEA in 2023, and in 2024 it will be available for other users. Efficient...

Traditionally, the industrial focus regarding energy and environmental issues has been on design and operation of the furnaces...
...diverse datasets and leveraging the synergistic effects of combined data, while also fostering opportunities for data providers to monetise their contributions. Its primary goal is to equip farmers with actionable insights and decision support tools to optimise agricultural practices and resource management...
Obesity and fatty liver disease are increasing in the population. There are no cost-effective and accurate ways to measure the amount of fat in the liver. In this project, we develop and test an ultrasound method to estimate liver fat. Fatty liver disease that is not due to excessive alcohol consumption...
The objective of the BreathSense project is to create an innovative clinical workflow and a portable breath diagnostics device that can provide real-time, in-home monitoring of patients, allowing for the early prediction of exacerbations in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). People dealing...
...consumption and climate gas emissions in industrial Textile laundry processes Nor Tekstil is a national laundry company with 17 laundries around Norway. Total annual energy demand is approximately 90 GWh corresponding to 3500 houses. Much of the energy is used for steam production for the washing and drying...
...metallic bipolar plates and increase the lifetime of PEM fuel cells and electrolysers. logo Proton-exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) and electrolyser (PEMEC) are key technologies for the deployment of H2 as energy carrier. Bipolar plates (BPPs) are central components of PEMFCs and PEMECs, accounting for...
...for large dimension billets of 7000 alloys, particularly in the aerospace and transportation industry, combined with the inherent difficulties of casting this group of alloys, there is a strong demand for a casting technology and equipment that are able to cast these alloys without the problems that normally...
...system will be more integrated cross-borders and will include a larger share of renewable intermittent generation than what is the case today. This development will e.g. be driven by a stronger transmission grid, environmental targets set by the European Union and decisions on downscaling of nuclear generation...
...operations plan and the individual AOPs using SWIM technology. The project unites key European aviation industry partners combining the right expertise to address these challenges and to drive deployment of validated improvements. In SESAR wave 1, SINTEF was involved in the development and validation of...

...substructures for 10MW wind turbines and water depths greater than 50m. There is a need for new innovative substructure concepts, including floating platforms, to reduce production, installation and O&M costs for water depths of more than 50m. Objectives: Optimize and qualify to a Technology Readiness...
...reduction in power plant efficiency and preventing cost effectiveness is the low flue gas CO2 partial pressure, limiting membrane flux, solvent selection and capacity. In pre-combustion CO2 capture, key bottlenecks are number of processing steps, possible low hydrogen pressure, and high hydrogen fraction in the...
...includes spawning herring and mackerel. During each chapter you will find relevant quality parameters and other information. The images and text used are compiled through the projects' Pelagic quality - from ocean to plate "and FHF project" Individual-based quality grading and quality marking of pelagic...
...effectively tackle the grid resiliency challenges. However, innovative chemistries and flow system designs are essential to maximize the potential of these solutions in meeting our future energy storage demands efficiently and sustainably. The penetration of renewable energies into the electric grid increases...
...provides a unique durability. Longer durability leads to less food wastage. The challenge is to make sure that the aluminium packaging is reclaimed and goes back into the circuit. The main objective of the Alpakka project is to establish a Norwegian flagship demonstrator for Circular Economy in practice...
...of AMK physicians and AMK operators with the on-site AMK physician. Background In Norway as well in in the rest of the western world, there has been a steady increase in the number of calls to emergency call centres in recent years. An ageing population with more chronic diseases and a generally lower...
...webinar. NCS C+ NCS C+ aims to develop four climate-positive technologies that will help increase the pace of the green transition and remove large volumes of carbon dioxide and methane from the atmosphere. The removal of greenhouse gases from the atmosphere has been highlighted as a critical component...
