...somewhere between fresh and frozen. This method ought to be more widely used because it helps to improve the utilisation of raw materials and to reduce waste, believe scientist Ingrid Claussen at SINTEF. Photo: Thor Nielsen. No? Well, the technology is called superchilling, and it lies somewhere between...
...build the world’s first waste incineration plant that not only uses oxygen for combustion, but also offers carbon capture and storage (CCS). The project has been named NETOX and is currently in the application stage. Today, large volumes of waste generated in Norway are transported to Sweden, where it...

SINTEF scientists have found that it could be more energy-efficient and cheaper than previously thought to capture CO2 by turning it into a liquid. CO2 captured in this way can be loaded directly on board ships before pipelines are ready to take over. Photo: SINTEF/Thor Nielsen All over the world, scientists...
At Forus just outside Stavanger, seven men and two women sit in what looks very like a dimly lit cinema auditorium. They are in the premises of the simulator company Oiltec Solutions. Expressions like “kick”, “mud” and “tool pusher” float around the room, and on an enormous screen a yellow industrial...

...first-generation carbon capture and storage (CCS) plants. Now a Norwegian-Chinese “team-tempo” squad has been set up to tackle the next stage. The Research Council of Norway has just allocated NOK 5.9 million to building up Norwegian-Chinese networks in climate research and environmental technology....
...transmission of information in the shipping sector. This includes electronic ship clearance, support of electronic ship certificates and an update to the FAL compendium. MARINTEK and ISO will support these developments through their work on international standardisation. The IMO Facilitation Committee (FAL)...
More efficient energy use and renewable resources by themselves are not sufficient to save the climate; carbon capture and storage are also essential. Chemical Looping Combustion (CLC) is one of the carbon capture and storage technologies on which SINTEF is working. Photo: SINTEF/Thor Nielsen According...
...(ISS) was monitored by the Norwegian-German gas measurement system Anita in 2007 and 2008. “Measuring several gases simultaneously is a complicated matter. We are trying to identify both the elephant and the midge, and the elephant may well hide the midge,” says Atle Honne, the “father” of ANITA, shown...
The largest potential for improving mechanical oil recovery in Arctic and ice-covered waters will probably be further improvement and adaption of existing concepts. The objective of this task is to test existing concepts for mechanical recovery of oil in ice coverede waters. A number of promissing concepts...
The checklists in the method support in identifying problems and possible solutions to human factors questions related to the control room. Explanations to the questions are also given. The questions are phrased so that the "correct" answer is "yes". Each point in the checklists consists of: Click here...
Trondheim, Norway, research scientists and technicians are working unremittingly to complete the installation of an outdoor solar panel laboratory. Their aim is to build a new facility on the roof of one of the campus high-rise blocks that will enable researchers, students and, not least, industrial stakeholders...
...forgotten. Industrial energy efficiency is overshadowed by other necessary climate measures, like electrification, new renewable electricity and CO2 capture and storage. But if we develop new technology for repurposing industrial waste heat, the potential uses for that energy are limited only by our imaginations...
...smartphone, electric cars, hydrogen storage, wind turbines. The technology needed for our modern life and a greener society depends on a just a handful of raw materials. A few decades ago they were largely hidden and unknown – now suddenly they have become crucial. You may have heard of rare earth elements that...
...was used to perform a sensitivity study and adjust the model parameters of a Sleipner benchmark model so that it better matched observed plume outlines. Sleipner is a natural gas field located in the North Sea and is the first offshore project for carbon capture and storage. Since 1996, more than 10 million...
...transparencies that will be presented. The material comprises a coverpage, 8 chapters and a two-page Outlook, a total of 120 pages. Since it includes many figures, the notes have been cut into several PDF files: Overview of lectures and open problems Practical aspects of the dual weighted residual (DWR) method...
...klima- og miljøavtrykk. En bedre beslutningsmodell vil også sikre riktig prioritering av vedlikehold på veinettet, sier avdelingsdirektør Trond Michael Andersen i Statens vegvesen. Forskerne forventer at en forvaltning som er bedre for klimaet, også gir bedre økonomi. - Per i dag vet vi ikke nøyaktig hvilke...
