This project's aims are to improve and understand selected catalyst materials’ transformation/degeneration during (industrial) use, relevant for applications within oil and gas upgrading, ethene...

FASTCARD is aiming at achieving a faster industral implementation of biomass conversion to advanced biofuels in Europe by developing new catalyst and methodologies. The catalytic key processes...

BIGCO2 aimed at developing sustainable power generation technologies based on CO₂ capture and safe underground storage. Emphasis was placed on knowledge pertaining to viable solutions for: CO₂...

In the two-degree scenario (2DS) of the International Energy Agency (IEA), in 2050, CO₂ capture and storage (CCS) will contribute to reducing the global CO₂ emissions by about 7 billion tonnes...

UbiCompForAll is about providing software development tools to users so they can easily tailor and compose services in ubiquitous environments. The main challenge of UbiCompForAll is to come up...

Sorting garbage for recycling saves resources, reduces environmental pollution and slows the build-up of landfills. Infrared light is the key to a sorting machine for drink cartons and plastic...

Temperatures can be determined without touching the object under investigation by measuring the heat it radiates (pyrometry). However, accurate temperature determination requires knowledge about...

We consider that € 40–120 million of the maintenance costs for concrete bridges, tunnels and retaining walls in the European Union could be saved by application of self-healing concrete. For...

Within the food and feed industry there is an increasing awareness that optimised production process control is necessary to maintain a competitive edge. However, a premise for control is process...

Selective and sensitive sensors can be made by tailoring infrared filters to fit the absorption pattern of particular gases. SINTEF is developing tunable multi-line filters using micro-optical...

The TACO EU Project will develop a new type of laser based time-of-flight 3D camera, that will give robots a more “human view of the world”. The project will provide current and future robots with...

As manual labor is getting increasingly expensive, the use of robots for automatic handling of parts is becoming crucial for the piece manufacturing industry in high-cost countries. One challenge...

The main objective of the project was to realise the environmental benefits from full scale deployment of smart meters (AMS). Subgoals: Increase the efficiency of the data handling related to...

Current systems for automatic processing of salmon are not able to remove all bones from freshly slaughtered salmon. The pin bones are positioned in the thickest part of the fillets. The bones...

The Norwegian oil and gas company Statoil has developed a new concept for a remotely operated oil & gas platform located offshore. Robots operating the platform requires multiple sensors to...

Smart metering technology has a great potential to achieve cost-efficient energy savings, and its effective use is crucial in achieving the 2016 and 2020 energy efficiency targets in Europe....

To reduce the cost and improve the reliability in offshore wind farms is a critical issue with high R&D-efforts. Offshore wind energy produced far from shore (e.g. in the North Sea), and nearly...

The future power system will be highly complex due to the integration of renewables and realization of smart grids. The transient overvoltage stresses on components will increase due to the more...

Access to omega 3 sources in fish feed is a limiting factor for growth in aquaculture. Researchers from SINTEF and NTNU will explore the potential of using bacteria as a "production machine"...

The LogistEC project aims to develop new or improved technologies of the biomass logistics chains. Cost-efficient, environmental-friendly and socially sustainable biomass supply chains are needed...
