...projected drop in value creation from petroleum markets, the need to tackle climate change and other grand challenges, and the competitive potentials generated through major leaps in digitalization. Research and innovation policies will impact the way industry responds to these pressures, but their contribution...
...with the acronym WoodCFD, and from time to time so do I. The Scandinavian concept of “hygge” has come to mean that warm cosy feeling you get sitting in front of a wood stove or built-in fireplace. It is literally feeling the warmth from the flames dancing behind the glass, and hearing the tiny explosions...
ABB and SINTEF Ocean are undertaking groundbreaking research to test the viability of fuel cells as an energy source for main ship propulsion. The new research project seeks to provide the answers required for fuel cell technology to be delivered at the scale needed to power commercial and passenger...
ImpreCCS High costs and risks remain significant barriers to large-scale implementation of carbon capture, transport and storage (CCS). Cost and risks can be reduced by better describing e.g. storage and injection dynamics in reservoir and process simulation tools, which will require accurate predictions...
Norwegian suppliers have had a significant competitiveness and growth potential related to knowledge-based production of highly advanced and innovative products with a high degree of customization. Over the years, we have positioned ourselves in the top of many premium market segments. However, when...
...risk and profitability and optimal timing of maintenance and reinvestments. SINTEF Energy has developed expertise, methods and tools for such analysis of both power networks and hydropower plants. A significant part of the power system must be renewed the next 20 years because of old assets and poor...
...buildings is paid more and more attention. Reuse of building materials is resource-efficient, and can also be cost-effective. SINTEF works to overcome the current obstacles to make reuse a cost-effective and practical alternative to new materials, both internally in upgrade projects and through third-party...
...commercialization of the Leda technology. LedaFlow® has been developed as a research project since 2002 and is based on a rigorous representation of the fundamental physical and chemical (compositional) properties of oil and gas flow, combined with experimental data from the SINTEF Multiphase Flow Laboratory at Tiller...
...going on for some time between the Norwegian Building Research Institute and SINTEF regarding a possible union of the Institute with SINTEF’s building and construction-related units. Both the Norwegian Building Research Institute and SINTEF are private foundations. Both of their boards of directors have...
February 15, Thorhild Widvey, Minister of Petroleum and Energy, will be visiting SINTEF and NTNU. In the course of a crowded four-hour programme the Minister will hear the latest news about the challenges and possibilities offered by hydrogen - and the very current topic of cleaning technology for gas-fired...
The project will document the technical and fishery-specific requirements for a new concept for coastal fishing vessels. For continued required investment in active and viable environments along the coastal line, it is important that the fleet group of small vessels is renewed, both in terms of vessel...
...of Fisheries and Coastal Affairs has initiated a study to look at the potential for increased added value in salmon and trout industry. The study will look at how value creation in the Norwegian aquaculture industry can be increased by increasing the value in the production of salmon and trout. The study...
...selected Centres of Excellence on CCS across Europe (Norway, Poland, France, Italy, Germany, Spain, Greece, UK, Netherlands and Switzerland). The mission is to develop (i.e. build and operate) a European distributed, goal-oriented, integrated Research Infrastructure. The goals are to: Provide a dynamic...
...media reports about absenteeism and Norwegian workers' morale. Very few of these stories have referred to research. We believe attitudes to work and absence are shaped before people enter the labor market. In this project we examined the attitudes towards absence and presence among more than 6 000 students...
