...outsourcing may influence upon organizations’ ability to prevent sickness absence and exclusion from working life. Outsourcing refers to a business strategy where organizations focus on their core competencies and activities and buy ancillary services from supplier companies. Increased use of outsourcing...
Medium-voltage gas-insulated switches are crucial for the safety and operation of power grids, but many current solutions, which use SF6 gas and PFAS materials, pose significant environmental risks Presently, most switchgears are filled with sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) as the insulation medium, which...
Establish the knowledge basis and methodologies necessary for developing a socio-economically favourable and robust coupled offshore and onshore grid. In May 2022 the Norwegian government announced an ambition to award areas for 30 GW offshore wind power by 2040. This implies the development of an offshore...
...operate and maintain an increasing base of critical infrastructure including electrical substations. SINTEF has developed methods for autonomous drones which could in the future contribute to asset management. Testing of novel prototype solution for autonomous drones With Statnett as a client and forward-leaning...
...hydrocarbon recovery based on a description of the reservoir, the fluid dynamics, well controls, and couplings to surface facilities. In model-building workflows it is often desirable to determine volumetric connections and the main flow paths at a stage in the process where all the data necessary to perform a...
...resources, and enhanced durability via multiple interactions with ions in seawater. The project enables new technology and novel adhesives for seawater adhesion in marine operations. By developing environmentally friendly adhesives from materials derived from plants that facilitate fast adhesion and long-lasting...

Arctic. Telenor Satellite Broadcasting AS and the Norwegian Space Centre have joined forces in a project that aims to identify future needs for data communication in the Arctic. R&D aimed at the Arctic and the polar regions is an important field for SINTEF, and the wide range of communication challenges...
SINTEF Fisheries and Aquaculture has for years worked with environmental analysis of Norwegian seafood. We have, among other things, shown where and how the Norwegian fishing and aquaculture industries can reduce their climate impact. Food products' environmental impact - especially their impact on...
...fisheries, marine mammals and the extraction of hydrocarbons for the next 20 years; with particular attention to environmental sensitivities and sustainability. These meso-economic issues will be extended to the macro-economic scale in order to highlight trans-sectoral implications and provide an integrated...
...aluminium in bridges. Different solutions will be tested in terms of feasibility, capacity, stability and cost-effectiveness. Today, aluminium is used primarily in shorter and smaller bridges where weight and / or durability are crucial. For medium-sized bridges, the use of aluminium decks supported by concrete...
...towards the boost and control of the heat supply temperature according to processes needs. The project will evaluate to what extent high share of solar heat heating and cooling will allow to reduce the dependence of industrial processes on carbon energies and associated polluting emissions, and to quantify...
Hellum Braathen and Gloria Azalde We carried out a literature review on sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) of girls with disabilities. The review was carried out using a scoping view methodology, and included an overview and thematic analysis of available literature, and uncovered gaps...
...storage and to improve monitoring capabilities. This will be accomplished by improving the imaging of the CO2 plume and the quantification of the injected CO2 at the Ketzin pilot site in Germany. Our work will combine the methodologies and expertise from the German and Norwegian CO2 sites (Ketzin and Svelvik)...
MISSION will develop and demonstrate three new SF6-free switchgear components for medium and high voltage (MV and HV). MISSION contributes to minimising both the use of fossil fuels and emissions of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere by Developing SF6-free switchgear for AC and DC systems will enable...
Provide repeatable and accurate data to forecast and monitor natural hazards such as snow avalanches, floods, landslides. Build an autonomous and modular geo-drone platform and develop innovative real-time data processing- and data analysis approaches to help in decision-making. First demonstration on...
...clean energy and mobility solutions in the most sustainable way. But this green transition will generate an exponential growth in demand for raw materials, such as Rare Earth Elements for the production of permanent magnets. Process Technology - Sustainable Energy - Metal Production and Processing -...
Improvedo har som formål å forbedre design og drift av fartøy. Bedre drift vil blant annet gi kapteinen et bedre beslutningsgrunnlag for å ta avgjørelser som påvirker...
The aim of this research project is to study and quantify the relationship between increased life expectancy and the future needs for health and care services. The population is getting older, and life expectancy is increasing. This can affect public finances through several channels. Among other things...
...covers two important and unresolved topics in multiphase flows; scaling and uncertainty. Cooperation between SINTEF, IFE and NTNU will provide a new combination of competence for increasing the confidence in multiphase flow modelling, looking more thoroughly into these topics. Scaling and uncertainty have...
