SINTEF Energy projects

The marine sector is facing a large transition in the coming years, where large ship engines must be replaced with zero emitting technologies.

The aim of Nordic Energy Outlooks is to: “Strengthen Nordic research competence and cooperation in the field of energy systems analysis, by building on existing national research programs” [Nordic Energy Research]

This project considers the energy system of offshore oil and gas installations with the aim to contribute to reduced greenhouse gas emissions by using variable wind power together with flexibility in energy usage and energy storage.

With typical thermal efficiency of 70-80 % at nominal load, modern wood stoves often produce more heat than actually required, especially in well-insulated, low-energy buildings and passive houses. At the end of the combustion, the heat release...

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...
