Both Helicopter and vessel application of dispersants are considered to have a significant potential in ice-covered waters. Through an evaluation of the different dispersant spray systems and platforms it has been recommended to focus the further work within this task on vessel as application. The In...

EMF guidelines – 1998 Guidelines for Limiting Exposure to Time-Varying Electric, Magnetic, and Electromagnetic Fields (up to 300 GHz). The EMF guidelines published in 1998 are now being revised and replaced step by step....
...fighting climate change and potentially bringing mitigation solutions to the impact of anthropogenic CO2 production. The CO2FieldLab project aims to be a building block in the foundations of future CCS activity. Moreover, this project represents the first worldwide attempt to monitor and model CO2 plume migration...
Using open international standards and new technology will contribute substantially to a sustainable development of the Norwegian construction industry. The board of Catenda AS (From the left: Founder of Catenda AS, Håvard Bell, Research Director at SINTEF Building and Infrastructure Kim Robert Lisø, Chairman...
...with a fully carbon-negative approach. The role of biogas in reducing CO₂ emissions in the EU by 2050 is crucial, especially as demand from industry and the energy sector is expected to rise significantly. Therefore, prioritising biogas production through waste-to-hydrogen conversion is essential. Using...
...obtaining both the scarcer metals and those for which we have a plentiful supply. However, the recovery of metals from the minerals we mine results in by-products that all too often end up as waste. This waste may also have major local and global impacts on nature and the environment. Some of the research...
...team in action. Photo: SINTEF Standard There has been too little focus on mild and moderate forms of hypothermia following accidents, combined with a lack of suitable equipment. So says Consultant in Anaesthesiology and chief of Helicopter Emergency Medical Service Øyvind Thomassen at Haukeland University...
...team of physicians and engineers is in deep discussion with a researcher. The next patient is currently at the focus of their efforts to develop a life-saving technology. He has a tumour in his left lung, and the main challenge is to find out whether it is benign or malignant, precise and quick, at low cost...
...capture, transport and storage (TCCS-13). Coinciding with the launch of the Norwegian full-scale CCS Longship project, the conference underscored the clear message that research is essential for turning climate ambition into action. 22 years of high-quality scientific presentations and discussions on CCS ...
Using mathematical models, Norwegian research scientists and Scandinavian industry are working on tailoring alloys which will increase the usefulness of recycled aluminium. The objective of the five-year project is to develop technical production “recipes” which will enable aluminium scrap to re-emerge...
Due to the way Li & Lim generated the test instances, the number of tasks in these instances are different and slightly higher than the nominal value. Here you find instance definitions and the best known solutions (to our knowledge) for the 800 tasks instances of Li & Lim's PDPTW benchmark problems...
The circular economy can boost profits in the water management sector, and at the same time provide farmers both in Norway and around the world with cheaper fertiliser. Nutrients contained in wastewater, such as phosphorous and nitrogen, can be put to good use as fertilisers. Municipal wastewater treatment...

The membrane they have developed here can be used to remove CO2 from flue gases and biogas, as well as capture greenhouse gases from fermentation processes. And it is made of materials that are found in most homes. Photo: Thor Nielsen. Standard ...
Cold - and injuried: More know-how could be of crucial significance to the survival of patients involved in anything from avalanches to road accidents – or a fall on a cold cellar floor, for that matter.

...to be a positive side effect. They replace other temporary heating systems and can function throughout the lifetime of the building. The product has been developed in collaboration between research scientists from SINTEF and the Norwegian contractor Betong & Entreprenør AS. No fossil fuel Originally...
Photo: Nacre It is 1989, and at SINTEF’s Department of Acoustics, research scientist Odd Kr. Pettersen is struggling over a letter. A Danish company wonders whether Norwegian acoustics scientists can solve the noise problems experienced by workers in an Italian factory. “We can offer hearing protection...
...new modules, bugfixes and quality of life-improvements. Some notable changes: Incompressible solvers have been moved into a new module incomp to further trim down mrst-core. Increased maturity and feature set of AD solvers, including support for boundary conditions, source terms and varying number of wells...
Batteries need to become more efficient, smaller, quicker to charge, and they have to withstand wide-ranging temperatures. Researchers are working on optimizing each battery component. Swipe your mobile or click on the arrow on your computer screen to see researchers at work. Scientists are working...
...develop and demonstrate three new SF6-free switchgear components. The development of SF6-free switchgear is becoming increasingly important. SF6 (sulphur hexafluoride) is the most potent greenhouse gas: 24 300 times worse than CO2. “There is a technology gap here that requires attention, and it's fortunate...
