...project develops an innovative and comprehensive training concept that enable organizations to appreciate, nurture and improve their inherent resilient and adaptive capacities, while being under the imperative of predominantly compliance-oriented safety regulations and standards. Hence, the founding...
...subsea industry is constantly pushing towards reduced costs and increased safety in subsea inspection, maintenance and repair operations. Therefore we have established the SEAVENTION project: Autonomous subsea intervention - empowered by people and AI. In the SEAVENTION (Autonomous subSEA interVENTION)...
Towards Hydrogen and Electricity Production with Carbon Dioxide Capture and Storage The project worked to prepare the ground for large-scale European facilities producing hydrogen and electricity from fossil fuels with CO2 capture and permanent storage. DYNAMIS investigated viable routes to large-scale...
...its diffuse emissions and greenhouse gas footprint in order to improve the plant working environment, meet increasingly strict governmental regulations and fulfil climate ambitions. Traditionally, the industrial focus regarding energy and environmental issues has been on design and operation of the furnaces...
...diverse datasets and leveraging the synergistic effects of combined data, while also fostering opportunities for data providers to monetise their contributions. Its primary goal is to equip farmers with actionable insights and decision support tools to optimise agricultural practices and resource management...
Obesity and fatty liver disease are increasing in the population. There are no cost-effective and accurate ways to measure the amount of fat in the liver. In this project, we develop and test an ultrasound method to estimate liver fat. Fatty liver disease that is not due to excessive alcohol consumption...
The objective of the BreathSense project is to create an innovative clinical workflow and a portable breath diagnostics device that can provide real-time, in-home monitoring of patients, allowing for the early prediction of exacerbations in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). People dealing...
AQUAEXCEL2020 aims to offer services tailored to the needs of the European aquaculture community and support and conduct world-class aquaculture research. Introduction AQUAEXCEL2020, a Horizon 2020 research infrastructure project, aims to support the sustainable growth of the aquaculture sector in Europe...
Danish seine vessels. Automation will ease the workload, increase productivity and improve the the quality of the fish on board. Automatic bleeding of anesthetized and alive fish on board will both raise the quality of the fish and remove heavy workloads for the fishermen. In addition, we have seen recently...
...to contribute to the holistic and long-term planning of the energy system, in order to meet our climate goals while conserving nature and biodiversity. If we are to prevent global warming, we must reduce our emissions. Emissions reductions from sectors such as industry and transport require increased...
...main principles advocated in the IEC 61508 / 61511 standards, and is a very useful tool when implementing and verifying quantitative (SIL) requirements as described in these standards. The PDS method is continuously updated, and new method and data handbooks were issued in January 2010. The data handbook...
...substructures for 10MW wind turbines and water depths greater than 50m. There is a need for new innovative substructure concepts, including floating platforms, to reduce production, installation and O&M costs for water depths of more than 50m. Objectives: Optimize and qualify to a Technology Readiness...
...reduction in power plant efficiency and preventing cost effectiveness is the low flue gas CO2 partial pressure, limiting membrane flux, solvent selection and capacity. In pre-combustion CO2 capture, key bottlenecks are number of processing steps, possible low hydrogen pressure, and high hydrogen fraction in the...
...efficient vaccines industrialisied fish farming would be an impossibility. Despite this, 53 million salmon were lost in Norway in 2017 due to illness and injury, also related to salmon lice treatment. In the project we will develop novel, clever vaccines based on nanoparticles, tailored for oral vaccination...
...surface/seafloor. So far, more than 6300 wells have been drilled on the Norwegian Continental Shelf, and about 200 new ones are expected to be drilled every year. To minimize the environmental footprint of oil and gas activities, we have to ensure that these do not become sources of hydrocarbon leakage over...
...located far off the coasts and a growing demand for electric power supply to oil and gas installations on the seabed will lead to a development of an off-shore electric power transmission infrastructure. To avoid the large costs of platforms or floaters, power switching equipment and other components will...
Macroalgae, or seaweeds are rich in carbohydrates and represent a valuable biomass resource for production of biofuels. Norway has a long coast line and a huge potential for development of systems for sea farming of seaweeds. Despite the existence of large amounts of information about Norwegian seaweed...
...metal contact-semiconductor interface and recombination at the passivating layer-semiconductor interface are two important bottlenecks for improving the performance of current solar cells. These processes are quantum mechanical by nature, but so far most studies and attempts to improve the properties of...
...manually and off-line, the task includes time-consuming counting of cells in which samples must be transported from cultures to laboratory. Automation of this process has several advantages; it frees human resources, it provides the ability to look at trends in frequent, continuous measurements, and eliminates...
