Elkem with the support of NTNU and SINTEF aims to develop a premium silicon grade dedicated to silicones production. Silicones production is the most valuable application of silicon in chemical industry. This market is growing quickly (~5% per year) and will reach US$ 20 Billion by 2022. Elkem Silicon...
The micro-sonde well logging system is a concept for obtaining along-well measurements of temperature, changes in fluid velocity and pressure while drilling. The micro-sondes are encapsulated, self-contained measurement devices designed to follow the flow from the bottom hole assembly to surface. Once...

...refractory raw material production, are responsible for a significant part of the world’s carbon emissions and has a strong impact on the loss of biodiversity. Establishing a circular economy and developing an efficient recycling process for this industry is essential to reduce CO2 emissions in Europe...
...commands are dynamically determined according to the operating and market conditions of the hydro systems. However, the optimal selection of commands is impossible to be done by hand due to thousands of complex constraints and coupling variables and millions of input data. The primary objective of this project...
LOUISE aims to reduce the cost of CO2 capture by demonstrating an innovative method of generating power and heat from waste (and providing a concentrated stream of CO2 that can be used or permanently stored). Project summary The aim of this project is to prepare for a pre-commercial demonstration of...
University of Science and Technology (NTNU), Institute for Energy Technology (IFE) and SINTEF Energy Research cooperate to develop Norwegian competence and know-how in wind power technology. The project is carried out with financial support from NFR, Statkraft, Norsk Hydro and Umoe Ryving Wind conditions...
...way for carbon-neutral energy generation from natural gas-fired power plants using gas turbines (GT), by enabling a highly efficient Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) process in the post-combustion phase. This will be achieved by the development of advanced hydrogen-assisted combustion technologies capable...
Gas turbines that use natural gas as fuel are currently the main source of the power and heat required for offshore operations. For this reason, they are also the main greenhouse gas emission sources on the Norwegian Continental Shelf. Decarbonising offshore operations is therefore necessary for reaching...
...stand for over 25% of Norway's total CO2 emissions, and these must be significantly reduced for the country to reach its ambitions in the Paris Agreement. Emissions from petroleum production stand for over 25% of Norway's total CO2 emissions, and these must be significantly reduced for the country to...
SESAR Joint Undertaking under the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 101017521. The JU receives support from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme and the SESAR JU members other than the Union. Up to ten times more drone...
NorEUnergy II will focus on increasing the mobilization and participation of Norwegian actors in the field of bioenergy, as one of the prioritized scientific areas in the new integrated SET-Plan. For this purpose, a list of concrete actions are planned: Arrangement of dedicated workshops/brokerage events...
...contribute to a reduction in emissions, queues, accidents and operator costs related to heavy freight, by introducing new technical solutions and ways of cooperation. The GOFER project idea is to develop concepts which facilitate control and management of heavy freight vehicles, much the same way as...
ITChES will facilitate the industrial uptake of water-sorption thermochemical energy storage materials and technologies by analysing the performance potential of compounds able to recover excess heat. With the results, a techno-economic study will be carried out for large scale implementation in industry...
...tell you are numbers called equivalent levels that describe the noise increase in your area. While these numbers may be based on excellent simulations and may be entirely correct, numbers are no substitute for listening! The annoyance of a noise source is quite dependent on the noise character. For instance...
Li-ion batteries (LIBs) can bridge renewable energy sources to power demand and are therefore crucial in achieving energy sustainability. However, the magnitude of the forthcoming market demand for LIBs along with the need for a climate neutral economy means that a sustainable supply of battery raw...

Both planar and tubular cells will...
Directorate of Education and Training. It spanned 2 years from autumn 2010 until spring 2012. SINTEF has been responsible for evaluating the project from beginning until its end. During these 2 years approximately 2300 pupils started studying a foreign language at primary level (6th grade), and approximately 1700...
Early Recognition, Monitoring and Integrated Management of Emerging, New Technology Related, Risks The project deals with management of emerging (new technology related) risks, e.g. related to nanotechnology. The goal has been to develop an agreed response to emerging risks that balances the management...
