Biomass Processing
In the laboratory for biomass processing, we extract and process products from various types of marine, land-based, and microbial raw materials.
Biomass and biomaterials
SINTEF has many activities related to processing and utilization of marine- and land-based biomass. Research on land-based biomass mainly focus on the use of residues from agriculture and forestry as raw materials for production of bio-based chemicals, materials and energy. Research on marine biomass also include isolation of valuable products, including biopolymers, that are used to design functional biomaterials for industrial and biomedical applications.

TipTop: Innovative and optimised utilisation of poultry feathers
Circular use of feathers via innovative tech that turns them into feed and biodegradable materials, returning nutrients to soil. Less waste, better resource use, and a sustainable food chain.
Resilience Across Borders – Circular Economy and Food System Preparedness in Jämtland and Trøndelag
The project develops new insights into how we can build greater robustness in the food system by fostering east–west collaboration between regions, rather than traditional north–south approaches.
SeaWeave: Novel functional textiles from red and brown seaweed
SeaWeave aims to pioneer new knowledge and technologies for a blue biorefinery model, focusing on converting red and brown seaweed into innovative and sustainable fibers and dyes, contributing to increased valorization of underutilized renewable...
