SINTEF Industry projects

On 1 October 2017, a new Research and Innovation Action, designated CHEERS, was commenced under the EC-Horizon 2020 programme's Low-Carbon Initiative.

This project aims to develop a radically new technology for harvesting low-temperature heat. Such heat is available in huge amounts from renewable sources (e.g. geothermal and solar) as well as in many industrial and domestic processes.

The goal of the Ensureal EU project, is to ensure zero waste production of alumina in Europe. This will be done by developing a zero-waste process for alumina production that can handle a wider range of bauxite than the existing process. The process...

The main goal of the OPTIMALS project is to enable multi-material solutions for high-performance aluminium-steel structural components with a total reduction of weight and manufacturing cost.

CO₂ capture and storage (CCS) at scale will be critical for reducing the CO₂ emissions and thereby reaching our climate targets. Sharing of reference datasets from pioneering CCS projects is essential to accelerate improved understanding, build...

Modern vehicles contain up to ten different heat-exchangers, sometimes more. Due to advanced requirements with respect to product's characteristics, aluminum brazed products are clearly dominant in the heat-exchanger industry. An increasing demand...

Pressure control and conformance management for safe and efficient CO₂ storage - Accelerating CCS Technologies.

Natural gas contains many different components (water, H₂S, CO₂, N2 and helium) in addition to natural gas. CO₂ removal from natural gas is in many cases a requirement for the gas to contain meet the legal requirements and natural gas network grid...

Forming of massive Aluminium in demanded geometries is performed through forming tools that apply high pressure on the material in certain way. Often, several forming steps are necessary. One reason is that the forming pressure would be too high to...
