Per Martin Stenstad They damage our ability to reproduce, and they pollute the natural environment. Yet chemicals known as hormone mimics can be found in consumer goods. Eventually they end up in our water. But we now have a way of capturing them. In a laboratory in Trondheim, researchers have managed...
...atmosphere and establish a balance between emissions and removal. Not all industries will be able to achieve net zero emissions by 2050. The agricultural sector is a good example. But if we are to achieve total net zero emissions during the next 30 years, we have to capture one CO2 molecule and remove it...

How will the car fleet be in the future? Will the fleet of private cars and small commercial vans only consist of battery-electric vehicles, or are hydrogen vehicles becoming more common on the roads? Will we own our own cars? And do we need to maneuver the cars at all? These are questions the FuChar project...

...are looking into wind turbine structures capable of output of the order of 10 megawatts. Their overall structure will be about 200 metres in height and the actual rotor blades will have a diameter of 180 metres. The stresses on a structure of this scale are enormous," says Petter Andreas Berthelsen,...
