Even though we are now returning to in-person meetings following the COVID-19 pandemic, digital events like webinars remain relevant, as they enable us to share our results and developments with the wider CCS community around...
...det enda tydeligere at nullutslipp ikke er nok. Om vi stoppet alle CO2-utslipp i morgen, ville jordkloden allikevel ha et klimaproblem, sier Marika Andersen i Bellona. Hun er en av dem som nylig fulgte klimaforhandlingene i Paris på nært hold. Til daglig jobber hun ved Bellonas europakontor i Brussel med...
UbiComposer, a composition tool for non-ICT professionals. Using the tools, the user can select among the set of building blocks defined using UbiComPro and combine them in different ways. UbiComposer has been developed in an Android version as well as a web based version. UbiCompRun, a runtime system for...
The main objective of nextgenFCmat is to facilitate the development of fuel cells with low weight, compact design and low cost. To achieve this, we have to develop solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) materials with higher performance at lower temperatures (400-600 °C) than the state-of-the-art materials. To...
Minister of Climate and Environment for Norway, Sveinung Rotevatn, announced at the end of last week that the project Ammonia Fuel Bunkering Network would receive NOK 89 million through the Green Platform Initiative. The project is two-pronged, consisting of an industry part and a knowledge-building...
The world’s smallest autofocus lens for mobile devices is ready, and Apple and Nokia are among the companies interested in introducing it.
