SINTEF Energy projects

Development of smart and low energy input processing chains, natural food additives and colourants, and supportive material for a code of practice to increase sustainability and consumer acceptance of organic food stuffs

The HydroFlex project aims to develop new technology permitting highly flexible operation of hydropower stations. Flexibility of operation here means large ramping rates, frequent start-stops and possibilities to provide a large range of system...

The MegaRoller project would develop and demonstrate a Power Take-Off (PTO) for wave energy converters.

An increasing number of windfarms located far off the coasts and a growing demand for electric power supply to oil and gas installations on the seabed will lead to a development of an off-shore electric power transmission infrastructure.

The Cost Initiative on wave energy

Electrification of urban transport has been identified as a key enabling technology for achieving a sustainable low carbon society. In spite of the increasing number of battery electric vehicles (EV) available on the market, widespread adoption has...

Multi-Terminal Direct Current (MTDC) transmission matured into the most feasible technology for transmission of bulk power over long distances with cables.

The main target is to contribute to keeping this sector competitive and efficient as it is at the center of a complex web of interests (the public, politics, energy, economy, environment) in the development of circular economy.

In November 2018, the European ARBAHEAT consortium launched a research project to investigate the conversion of the ENGIE Ultra-SuperCritical coal-fired Rotterdam power plant into a biomass-fired heat and power plant.
