This is what you need to know about CCS – Carbon Capture and Storage

07 October 2019

Why is there so much talk about storing CO2 underground? Doesn’t it cost more than it’s worth? Here we provide the research scientists’ answers and explanations of why CCS is climate technology that we are completely dependent on. And yes, this can be performed in a safe manner.

Enabling the transition to a circular economy

12 June 2019

Norway and the EU are prioritising a circular economy agenda to deliver the next generation of jobs, growth and investment. But how can we enable this transition to a circular economy?

How attentive are children in traffic?

AEMON - Novel Failure Monitoring System for Marine Applications by including Acoustic Emission

22 November 2019

Gear systems are critical in maritime vessels and wind turbines, and damage of components in these systems may lead to catastrophic and costly failure. Today, gears and bearings are often monitored by frequent inspections and manual condition monitoring. However, closed gears are not easily inspected, and in autonomous and remote-controlled vessels and subsea installations, remote condition monitoring is the only option over long periods of time.

Automatized follow-up of safety instrumented systems

19 March 2019

The project will develop specifications that simplify and automate design and operation of safety systems in the petroleum industry. The industry partners will, based on the R&D activities in the project, develop new solutions for collecting, analyzing and sharing failure data of safety systems during design and operation.

DREAM – Dose-related Risk and Effects Assessment Model

The numerical model DREAM (Dose related Risk and Effect Assessment Model) accounts for releases of complex mixtures of chemicals, such as those associated with produced water and drilling discharges. DREAM is used as a decision support tool for management of operational discharges to the marine environment.

OSCAR – Oil Spill Contingency and Response

OSCAR is a state of the art model and simulation tool for predicting the fates and effects of oil released during an accidental release of oil, either from a platform or a vessel. OSCAR provides insight in the behavior of oil during an accident and captures the effects of contingency and response, allowing for contingency analysis and planning as well as hind- and forecasting.

SCORE – Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics Core Development Project

The SCORE project is a software development project for creating a framework for handling cross disciplinary engineering problems involving fluid and solid mechanics with complex boundaries and free surfaces.
