The project aims to map the possibilities for, and to establish the scientific foundation for, replacing coke and coal with natural gas in the production of metals and alloys. A road map towards industrialisation is a main goal in the project. The metallurgy community at SINTEF have a vision that natural...
...low/zero-emission energy carrier and has several potential end-use applications in transport, utilities and industries. A major challenge to overcome, is to enable cost- and energy-efficient storage and logistics solutions, connecting supply and demand locally, regionally, and globally. For long-distance...
The main objective of PlastiSea is to develop novel bioplastic materials based on cultivated and wild species of brown algae. Conventional plastic materials are made from non-renewable resources, and pollution by these materials represents a global threat to marine environments. The EU recently voted...
The project offers Europe a fast track evolution towards Smart Grids dissemination and deployment in the distributed electricity grid. The aim was to contribute to the European 20-20-20 goals by showing that it is possible to operate a distribution power system (on the Danish island of Bornholm) with...

...attend school and participate in society. WHO has estimated that around 466 million people (6.1 % of the world’s population) have a disabling hearing loss, and 34 million of these are children. The majority of children with hearing impairment live in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC) and most of the...
Electrification of the transport sector can be achieved with hydrogen and/or battery technologies. The modular nature of these components allows for individual tailored sizing of the power system, perfectly adapted to specific requirements. Optimum design (component sizing) minimises the total cost of...
...vision of Sharing Neighbourhoods is digitalization towards a socially inclusive and caring neighbourhood. We will investigate the effects of digital collaborative sharing platforms on the social interactions in neighbourhoods, and the new economic models that these platforms enable in the neighbourhoods. ...
...aims to enable fact-checking services to detect and flag potentially harmful fake news items in a more accurate, efficient and timely manner than offered by current state-of-the-art systems. Fake news are "news" items known by the author to be false and published with an intent to deceive. Researchers...
...systems are capable of reasoning about and solving unstructured problems without the direct intervention of humans, and central to future exploitation of the ocean space. The SEATONOMY methodology gives a structured way of analyzing mobile autonomous maritime operations and systems. The goal of the methodology...
...placemaking and the 15-minute concept through the lens of social inclusion, diversity and the Sustainable Development Goals Why InclusiveCity? In the past decade, placemaking has become an appealing and widely used tool to implement the 15-minute city and improve the quality of life in cities and make places...
