They have developed a new testing method to improve the seismic monitoring of CO2 storage in the subsurface. Photo: Nicola Tisato Blog CCS (Carbon Capture and Storage) is a solution with great...
Chamber for hyperbaric TIG welding Subsea pipeline tie-ins and repair have been in focus for 20 years. The first welding operation offshore with PRS (Pipeline Repair System), a tie-in of a 28-inch pipeline, was performed in 1988 at Oseberg A in the North Sea. Since then, about 74 offshore hyperbaric...
...system aims to ensure that helicopters and light aircraft are prevented from colliding with power lines and other obstacles. By Åse Dragland Collisions between light aircraft and helicopters and high voltage cables, wind turbines, high-rise buildings, oil platforms and telephony masts are all too frequent...

Photo by SINTEF Standard There are many benefits to exploiting ocean-based solar energy. Valuable areas on land can be protected, and marine installations may represent a green...
Europe webinar was held on 23rd of October 2020, with 92 attendees representing both industry and academia across the battery value chain in Norway. The webinar platform Hopin enabled digital mingling, and 39 one-to-one meetings were facilitated in the networking pauses. Agenda: Strategic Research Agenda...
Documentation There are several sources you can consult to learn more about MRST, including a textbook, a series of short videos (Jolts), and the many tutorials that follow the software; some of these are also available as webpages. In addition, almost all functions in MRST are documented in a similar...
...times greater than the country’s existing hydropower resources. And wind power offers as much energy potential as the oil Norway currently pumps out of the North Sea. Extracting energy from wind results in virtually no CO2 emissions, and support for renewable energy is strong. Sea-based windmills are...
Photo: Thinkstock. Notes The project is called PLATIRUS and its aim is to help reduce the European shortage of valuable noble metals, also known as PGMs. PGM is an abbreviation for the Platinum Group Metals, which include iridium, platinum and palladium. Currently, these metals are vital components in...
...oxides as supports, membranes and sources for reactive oxygen; layered materials (hydrotalcites) as supports; metal and oxide nanoparticles, etc. An overall vision is to utilize our strength in material synthesis as a basis for approaching rational design of improved catalysts and adsorbents.

...research-based innovation for competitive high value manufacturing in Norway. The centre is hosted by SINTEF Manufacturing AS, it has 14 industry partners, and SINTEF and NTNU as research partner. An analysis of the independent advisory firm Impello Management AS shows that the centre potentially can have an economic...
...image-processing system could prove to be an important tool for Norwegian agriculture and for the thousands of farmers who spray their fields with weed-killer every year. The program can distinguish between weeds and useful plants in real time during spraying, making it possible to spray only the plants...
We use modelling and simulations throughout the process of sensor development to gain insight into the relevant fundamental physical phenomena that influence the design process. Modelling Modelling offers many practical advantages, especially when starting at the early stages of development: It helps...
Centre gathers researchers and laboratories from several parts of SINTEF into a single centre under joint management. The centre employs about 40 people, all with high levels of expertise in a number of research disciplines. The laboratories, including the world’s largest and most advanced multiphase...
...herring and mackerel from purse seine. The result is a purse seiner that sucks herring and mackerel on board gently. Today this is usually done by means of bucket pumps that suck and press the fish on board through a hose. The fish goes into a sieve box where the pump water and fish are separated and the...
