To obtain this, our secondary objectives are to develop advanced statistical models in space and time to describe past and future wave climate based on model outputs and data; to develop appropriate methods...
...hybrid ship power and propulsion systems. An energy storage system on a vessel can have several advantages and can be utilized for several different purposes depending on the onboard power system configuration. The intended use, as well as class society requirements for safety and power availability...
...for cars could be to use fossil fuels. We will tell you why and how! Currently, road transport contribution to global CO2 emissions is around 23%. The main options to reducing the CO2 emissions from the transport sector are electric cars and fuel cell cars powered by hydrogen. Hydrogen vs. electric cars...
...project is to review former previous DEMO-projects and collects views on cross cutting issues from experienced staff, thereby utilizing valuable insights and help future hydrogen lighthouse- projects consider the pros and cons of project organization and financial issues. SINTEF's contribution to PreparH2:...
SINTEF Materials and Chemistry, along with 15 partners, will develop multi-functional packaging solutions to improve the properties and performance. The current bioplaster can no longer compete with the existing petroleum based packaging options. The new multi-function packaging solutions will have...
SINTEF has performed two independent surveys of gambling habits and problems in the Norwegian population. One survey was performed before and one after the ban on slot machines came into force. In spite of the ban, no significant change was found in the prevalence of gambling among persons with a gambling...
Contact: Nils Anders Røkke UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon recently appointed Norway's former Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg as one of two Special Envoys on Climate Change. The other one is Ghana's former Prime Minister John Kufuor. Mr. Stoltenberg combines this task with being a Member of Parliament...
Scandinavia In future, the Scandinavian power supply system will have closer connections with Europe and an increasing proportion of uncontrollable renewable generation from, for example, wind and unregulated hydroelectric systems. There is therefore a need to develop a new model which takes into account...
...peak loads, optimising energy use and ensuring high product quality. Norway has set ambitious targets to reduce the use of fossil fuels, increase the use of wind and solar energy and improve energy efficiency in industry. In Røros, where electricity can be scarce and expensive, optimising industrial...

The current recycling practices for Photovoltaic (PV) modules waste are inadequate, often only recovering materials of low volume and value. To achieve both economic viability and sustainability, the recycling...
...such as nitric acid and imported fossil-fuels. In the focus of the project are new, sustainable ways of producing various carboxylic acids. Such compounds are important raw materials for products such as paints, polymers, catalysts, fine chemicals, agrochemicals, fragrances and dyes. The chemical industry...
BOB is a safer and more cost-efficient digital process for railway asset inspection and interaction, based on a lightweight robot system that is capable of railway travel. The system will reduce the need for humans in the dangerous areas of railways and reduce cost of inspection and light maintenance...
