...that many people are seeing the potential of algae and plankton”, says Centre Manager and Research Director Gunvor Øie at SINTEF Ocean. “Our aim is to contribute towards establishing a new biomarine industry in Norway. Some people believe that algae and plankton will be the new oil”, she says. Seaweed...
...risers there is need for cooperation, improvements and systematic work. The starting point should be an industry consensus of what is the current status and secondly promote and obtain standardization. With this as the background the JIP - Safe and Cost Effective Operation of Flexible Pipes was established...

Photo: Thor Nielsen/NTNU Fully 9.1 per cent of all research publications from NTNU are in collaboration with SINTEF, a number that puts the university at the top worldwide with respect to publishing collaboratively, according...
The marine biomasses used in Mar3Bio are brown algae and crustacean byproducts which are sources of the marine polysaccharides alginate and chitosan. These abundant but underexploited renewable biomasses have great potential for production of high value biomolecules. The current bottlenecks for a bio-refinery...
International requirements, collaboration across national frontiers and the need for simulator training held centre stage at an industry meeting on emergency and ocean towing in Tromsø. This article is written by the Norwegian Coastal Administration (NCA). The gathering i november provided good confirmation...
...integrated assembly), allowing integration of features and functionalities without a following assembly step. The main goal with this project is to study the technological challenges faced in the development of new multi material-based solutions and components, particularly for use in various aggressive...
...production. The challenges is to be able to make the overall process economically viable at a scale that is suitable for Norway and by taking into account the Norwegian conditions and existing infrastructure. The success of this project means that we will have the opportunity to replace parts of the fossil...
The proportion of herring that are filleted has increased from 30% to 50% from 2003 to 2010, and it is expected that it will increases in future. This project will develop a system that takes out the individual fractions from the fillet to make use of the valuable raw material. Background In 2010, it...
...biofuels such as building waste and wood shavings into the discussion of which sources of power we should use in Norway, concluded project manager Lars Sørum of SINTEF Energy Research at the end of the project. Waste as valuable as shavings Wood shavings are one of the cleanest – and thus most efficient – solid...
...keeps getting smaller. Technologies and infrastructures are increasingly intertwined; nations have become interconnected by transportation, communication and economy. In this world, our society is put under tremendous strain: New forms of crime, new system dependencies and new vulnerabilities. These threats...
...large and small components with different criticality. It is challenging to determine the appropriate time for maintenance and renewal of the components. Methods and tools are developed to help utility companies to determine. One of the main objectives of the "Assessment of technical condition and lifetime...
...industral implementation of biomass conversion to advanced biofuels in Europe by developing new catalyst and methodologies. The catalytic key processes comprise hydrocarbon reforming, CO2 FTS, hydrotreating and co-Fluidized Catalytic Cracking. To meet European terms targets, an energy paradigm shift is needed...
Advanced analysis of the properties of natural and human made objects and structures most often combines a description of the physics involved by system of partial differential equations, and a geometric description of the objects and structures addressed. From the early days of computers there has been...
