Large amounts of goods are transported by ship. The high monetary and environmental costs of running vessels means that even small gains in efficiency can mean huge savings. Maritime inventory...
Where should the fisher cast her net to obtain the largest catch of her target species while keeping energy use and expenditures at a minimum? How can we improve the design and operation of...
Climate change leads to more frequent and heavy rainfall, and in cities, flooding from rainwater has caused significant damage. SINTEF helps municipalities with stormwater management using the...
We work with decision-support for infrastructure development. Our research covers technology selection, balancing maintenance versus new investment, and the order and prioritization of measures...
SINTEF analyzes the energy needs for domestic hot water in buildings, energy losses related to this, and more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly solutions for the use of tap water in...
To realize the prospected growth in salmon aquaculture, new technologies and methods are needed to develop effective waste handling and effective feed-loops. Salmon aquaculture is based on the use...
Leakage outside the casing is still an unresolved problem in well plugging. The annulus between casing and rock is traditionally filled with cement in selected sections of a well. SINTEF is...
Tomorrow’s electrical power system must be able to handle greater variations in power and energy flows, as well as the introduction of new smart components and technologies. This means that both...
Due to the population growth in cities, there is an increasing demand for clean and environmentally friendly transportation options. According to the Norwegian National Transport Plan 2014–2023,...
Traffic behaviour affects the safety, efficiency, and environmental impact of the transport system. SINTEF conducts research on road user behaviour (i.e., how we travel, what we do, to what degree...
Condensation of CO2 in heat exchangers and separators occurs in processes for liquefaction of a CO2-rich gas phase, for example to increase purity of the gas, to meet ship transportation...
Electric and hybrid marine power systems for increased flexibility and reduced emissions and fuel consumption. The trend of the last decades has been increased use of hybrid electric propulsion...
MARINTEK possesses unique interdisciplinary competence that is in high demand in research, innovation and the analysis of maritime transportation systems. The Department of Maritime...
Geothermal energy systems cover systems for both shallow and deep geothermal wells. Shallow geothermal boreholes, 50 - 200 m, are used as heat source or sink for heat pumping systems. Deep...
Deep-water subsea oil production installations require complex electrical power systems. There is currently a need for local supply systems close to wellheads serving equipment such as gas...
Optimal asset management of power system components must be based on analysis of technical condition, residual life, risk and profitability and optimal timing of maintenance and reinvestments....
The spot market is by far the largest market for the physical supply of electrical power. The spot market is a day-ahead market, but there are also markets that trade on an intra-day basis for...
Demolishing generates enormous amounts of waste each year. At the same time, the environmental strain of material use in new buildings is paid more and more attention. Reuse of building materials...
The purpose of the planning and building legislation is to promote sustainable development in favor of individuals, the society and future generations. Together with the associated regulations...
We have extensive experience with testing brake couplings, both explosive tests and extensible and leak tests, and pull tests and fracture analysis on water connections....
