Residents must participate in the development of our future communities
In Palma de Mallorca in Spain, researchers are planning to use VR headsets to encourage resident participation in a community project.
Celebrated 100,000 hours of CO2 capture
For 12 years, the pilot plant for CO2 capture at Tiller has been testing technology that is crucial for Norwegian industry to realize carbon capture and storage, and for Norway to help solve the global climate challenges.
New Norwegian hydrogen research laboratory opened in Trondheim
On Monday 5 June, SINTEF and NTNU opened SMART-H: a new, Norwegian research infrastructure for investigating how hydrogen impacts different materials. This work will be necessary for developing an export market for hydrogen in Norway.
Using a patient’s immune cells to prevent the spread of cancer
The fact that our immune systems capture and destroy nanoparticles and the drugs they carry has been a problem in the field of nanomedicine for some time. But, in the fight against cancer, researchers are now attempting to exploit this problem to...

Winter salting caused the crash – not the steel
Speciality steels made the headlines in 2021 following a serious car accident. Normally, alloys of this type corrode very slowly, but they must not be used to construct barriers along roads that are salted in winter. At other places on the road...
Mid-Norway is now a “hydrogen valley”
SINTEF, together with the Renewable Energy Cluster (RENERGY), has taken a leading role in achieving mid-Norway’s status as a “hydrogen valley”. The initiative launched at Fremtidens Industri (FI) on Monday 8 May 2023.
We know that carbon capture from the atmosphere is possible. But how do we get there?
Direct Air Capture (DAC) technologies offer new opportunities for getting closer to our climate change mitigation targets. However, we still have a long way to go before DAC can be fully rolled out as a mitigation measure.
Carbon capture using sunlight and mirrors
Researchers are planning a solar energy plant that will capture ‘concentrated sunlight’ using mirrors. The plant will also be distinctive because it will generate both electricity and heat, which can be used to capture carbon dioxide.
