SINTEF creates the future’s energy solutions

Renewable energy will increasingly replace fossil fuel as a future energy source. The world needs an energy revolution that will require large investments in new solutions and infrastructure. SINTEF partners with industry and government agencies to create more efficient, less polluting and more flexible energy solutions

Research areas

Batteries

SINTEF performs research covering large parts of the battery value chain, including development of Li-ion technology, materials for new battery chemistries, battery cell design and prototypes, sensor technology, cooling and control systems (BMS) for battery cells and packs, as well as evaluation of performance and life time of prototype and commercial batteries and battery systems for a variety of applications. The latter also includes activity on high voltage cables and connectors.

Bioenergy

SINTEF has decades of research experience in environmentally friendly and energy- and cost-effective bioenergy

Electric power components

SINTEF studies electric power components that contribute to a robust energy supply

Energy systems

SINTEF contributes to a reliable, environmentally friendly and cost-effective energy system

Hydrogen

As a fuel, hydrogen is powerful enough to launch NASA’s space shuttles. It is also extremely environmentally friendly, as the only emission it produces when burned is water.

Hydropower

We work together with our customers to achieve efficient hydropower production that also respects nature, the local environment and wildlife.

Offshore wind

Norway has just left the starting line in the race to become the first nation to conquer the sea with wind turbines in deep water.

Smart Grids

Smart Grids are the digitalised and smart power grids of the future. They are also essential for Norway’s electrification efforts and success with the necessary reduction of greenhouse gas emissions .

Solar

SINTEF does research to investigate how we can exploit solar energy as a contribution to securing a reliable and sustainable energy supply for the future.
