During the 1980s, the world began to realise that chemicals created by man and used in heat pumps and refrigeration systems were having a negative effect on the environment. In the old days, CO2 was a normal working medium in seagoing air-conditioning systems. Professor Gustav Lorentzen (1915-95)...
...resounded through the energy sector. They were generated by a publication based on measurements taken at an HEP plant in Brazil. It reported that CO2 and methane from rotting organisms in HEP reservoirs could, in the worst case scenario, be responsible for well over a quarter of the planet’s total climate...

...realisere så langt, men vi har god tro på at det vil bli en slik mulighet på tampen av prosjektet, det vil si i løpet av 2023, forteller seniorforsker Anders Homb i SINTEF. Viktig tverrfaglig samhandling Prosessen i prosjektet er i stor grad basert på månedlige arbeidsmøter mellom SINTEF-forskerne og industripartnerne...
...technology as we use in the oil and gas industry to the aquaculture sector”, says Eleni Kelasidi. “So, my first visit to a fish farm turned out to be a real wake-up call”, she says. Kelasidi had a PhD in the snake robotic technologies that are developed for use in the oil and gas sector before becoming a...
...about when and why outbreaks of disease occur. Now, SINTEF researchers are about to expose the water’s secrets, both to prevent suffering in fish and to save the aquaculture industry a great deal of money. "Disease is the greatest challenge facing this industry, both in financial terms and where its...
Salt has many beneficial properties. It tastes good, and it increases the shelf life of our food and makes it easier to process many foodstuffs on an industrial scale. But it also contributes to cardiovascular diseases. Since 2008 researchers have been working on the “Low salt products” project with...
