Department Sustainable Energy Technology

The transformation of the fossil-based energy sector with large greenhouse gas emission to clean energy is one of the greater global challenges.

As a fuel, hydrogen is powerful enough to launch NASA’s space shuttles.

SINTEF unites world-leading expertise in understanding of material properties, to the requirements of the end-products characteristics.

SINTEF is doing research to make solar energy more efficient, more competitive, and more environmentally friendly.

Our goal is to develop new technology for green energy solutions based on a high level of competence within materials and electrochemistry, using both modeling and experimental methods.
