CO₂ capture and storage: CO₂ Capture Project - The CO₂ Capture Project is an international effort funded by eight of the world's leading energy companies. This project intends to address the issue of reducing emissions in a manner that will contribute to an environmentally acceptable and competitively...

...release, MRST has been divided into core functionality and add-on modules, where the latter is defined as a set of functions and scripts that extend or modify the existing capabilities of MRST. A module may use all features of the core toolbox and may, optionally, depend on other modules. Starting from...

...early December. 28.06.11 International CO₂ prize to SINTEF scientist Chief scientist and project adviser Erik Lindeberg of SINTEF Petroleum Research has been awarded the international research prize “The SINTEF and NTNU CCS Award” for his pioneering role in research on storing CO₂ in geological strata...

...phosphorous and nitrogen, can be put to good use as fertilisers. Municipal wastewater treatment plants are now planning to recover more of these valuable resources, which are becoming globally scarce. “Wider Uptake” is a joint project involving water and sewage treatment companies, research institutes and private...

They are available today, and it up to us to choose to utilise them – or not. It will be incredibly expensive...

Neither wind turbines nor monster towers disturb the view where our taxi has stopped. Dokka, a veteran researcher from SINTEF Building and Infrastructure who is both a builder and an engineer, is standing in Skedsmokorset in Akershus county, in the south-eastern part of the country. Two merry eyes peer out...

Mikkelsen and his colleagues in the motorcycle police have been issued with new uniforms. Photo: Kim Ramberghaug The new uniform is made of synthetic material. It was originally developed for the civilian market, but the police version will be more noticeable in traffic. Its sleeves, breast and back surfaces...

SmartPipe project has been ongoing since 2006 when the Research Council of Norway and a group of oil companies provided about 25 million to fund the research programme. As oil production moves into increasingly deeper waters and more environmentally-sensitive areas, the pipelines carrying the hot well stream...

Proposed WP3 projects: Improved blends between primitive surfaces Representing and dealing with offsets Computational geometry with higher order primitives Geometric interval arithmetic Current CAD technology is essentially based on NURBS. From the Algebraic Geometry point of view NURBS are rectangular...

The aim of this section is to describe how to conduct Scenario Analysis, when it might be appropriate to perform it and give a framework of types of scenarios to be developed for analysis. Introduction This section presents the elements of the Scenario Analysis in detail. The Scenario Analysis comprises...

...of relevant arctic marine operations projects managed by different NTNU departments gave brief project overviews. The need for collection of metocean and ice data to improve the environmental design basis was stated by different stakeholders. The short non-technical final report prepared for Research Council...

In manned space, the control of the air quality is of utmost importance for the health and wellbeing of the crew. Therefore, ESA has a long-term program for trace gas monitoring, and SINTEF has taken part in this since its conception in 1990, where it began with a technology selection process. ANITA...

...was performed during last week at the CO₂ Field Lab. About one tonne of CO₂ was injected at 20 meters depth and the movement of the gas was monitored. Chief scientist Erik Lindeberg at SINTEF, and Svein Staal Eggen from Gassnova inspects the monitoring of the CO₂ during the shallow injection which was...

...import soya. Let’s make a simple comparison. In the wild, animals either feed on grass and other plants, or prey on smaller animals. Farmers, on the other hand, feed their domestic animals on food that is first harvested and then processed, but is often based on the same raw materials as are available to wild...
