Abstract This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of supercritical carbon dioxide (sCO2)-enhanced geothermal systems (EGSs) in Poland, focusing on their energetic performance through process modeling and optimization. EGSs harness the potential of geothermal energy by utilizing supercritical...

The management of the Norwegian Northeast Atlantic cod fishery has in many ways been a success story; quotas have been high (but now declining), profitability has been higher than most other industries and there is great interest among young recruits to enter the fishery. However, over the last...

Experience from acquiring, processing, and storing data in past and ongoing research projects has proven to be much more time-consuming than expected due to a plethora of data structures, missing metadata, and security issues. Currently, there is no infrastructure in Norway giving researchers access...

In this report, challenges and solutions for exposed aquaculture operations have been presented. Exposed aquaculture is culturing of aquatic animals or plants at exposed locations. Exposed sites have potentially high waves, strong currents, and strong winds. Challenges for operations on exposed...

Severe polysulfide dissolution and shuttling are the main challenges that plague the long cycle life and capacity retention of lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries. To address these challenges, efficient separators are designed and modified with a dual functional bimetallic metal-organic framework (MOF...

The paper reflects on answers to the question whether a full conversion to natural refrigerants is feasible from a holistic view based on technological, cost- and environmental perspectives. The reflections are partly based on developments in certain applications in a historical context, as well...

This paper presents a performance analysis of a lab-scale propane-butane cascade heat pump with a nominal heating capacity of 20 kWth at varying evaporation temperatures. Experimental data from the laboratory is compared with operational data from a scaled-up industrial pilot plant (300 kWth...

Current cost-effective solar collectors are mainly used for low-temperature heating, such as building heating and other domestic low-temperature purposes, and cannot supply in the range of 180 – 200 °C needed for industrial purposes. The EU-funded FRIENDSHIP project has the proposed solution of...
