SINTEF research areas

Reliable electric power components in the transmission and distribution grid are crucial for the power system’s ability to provide society with secure, sustainable and competitive electricity at any one time.

Our research on advanced materials and nanotechnology contributes to solutions to major societal challenges and provides new business opportunities.

SINTEF collaborates with the construction industry to reduce greenhouse gas emissions related to construction activities and develop zero-emission solutions and new technologies.

Buildings account for forty percent of the total energy consumption in Norway. In order to solve the electricity crisis and reach the climate targets, we must improve energy efficiency.

SINTEF creates forward-looking and innovative solutions for energy efficiency in industry – because the greenest energy is the energy you never use.

Energy security means ensuring a continuous energy supply, even during disruptions such as natural disasters, attacks, or other major system stresses.

If we are to reach the global climate targets, we need to achieve a rapid transition to the use of emission-free energy. This means we must facilitate the best possible utilization of the existing power grid and build new grid infrastructure where...

We help in creating a modern, sustainable and greener energy system analysis for the future.
