Projects in SINTEF Nordvest

Marine rest raw materials represent an important value-creating resource for the Norwegian fisheries and aquaculture industry. Mapping has shown that the vast majority is utilised today.

Can Norwegian farmed seaweed be used to create healthy food ingredients?

The project will develop a sustainable value chain for Norwegian skate, a by-catch and underutilised marine resource, by turning it into high-value ingredients for nutraceuticals, food and pet food.

The ReCirc4Future project will explore novel exploitation of the side streams crude glycerol, urea fatty fraction and spent bleaching earth, that arise from omega-3 production.

Can lights increase shrimp trawl catches while reducing bycatch? This project explores how shrimp trawlers can apply light to attract shrimp and help juvenile fish escape.

To promote sustainable handling and reuse, this project will test a process for removing heavy metals from used blasting sand and explore potential applications of the recovered material.

Accelerate the maritime energy transition and reduce emissions from ships through R&D for innovation and value creation within the Norwegian maritime and energy industries.

Improved efficiency in aquaculture vessel operations through interpretable decision support.

The FUSE vision is to rapidly reduce emissions from the global fleet by unlocking the full potential of operational data through fusing AI and ship hydrodynamics for next generation voyage optimization.
