Joints in high-voltage overhead lines are critical components that, if they fail, can lead to line breaks and power outages.

How can we handle organic waste at the Zero-Emission Farm at Mære in the most sustainable way?

Every year, floods cause extensive damage to buildings, infrastructure and land areas, and this is expected to increase in a future where climate change leads to increased frequency and size of floods, especially in the form of flash floods as a...

The International Maritime Organization (IMO) targets 50% lower annual greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from maritime transport by 2050 compared to 2008, and even pursues efforts towards phasing them out entirely. The challenge is to substantially...

Power transmission is today facilitated by underground cables and overhead lines. For long distances or high power transmission, extra high voltages are normally used. The highest voltage level in Norway is 420 000 volts which is almost 2000 times...

Reducing waste in the seafood value chain. SuMaFood intends to reduce food waste and increase the productive use of marine biomass by devising innovative methods of processing and preservation, and developing ingredients that will serve as the basis...

Sustainable wood stoves through stove, building integration and value chain optimisation

The energy grid is changing, and in the coming years, large sums will be invested to fully electrify society.

The main objective of the project is to analyse the efficiency of the Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS) using CO₂ as a working fluid.
