Rapporten oppsummerer funnene fra et prosjekt som er gjennomført av SINTEF på oppdrag av Fondsstyret for regionale verneombud i bygge- og anleggsbransjen i perioden august 2023 – juni 2024. Bakgrunnen var at fondsstyret ønsket å få utarbeidet en kartlegging og kunnskapsoppsummering spisset inn mot...

Alginates are linear anionic polysaccharides originating from brown algae. Their properties target several application areas in in food-, technical- and pharmaceutical industries, and thus they are highly valued. Norway is currently the largest producer of cultivated seaweed in Europe, where the...

Alginates are valued in many industries, due to their versatile properties. These polysaccharides originate from brown algae (Phaeophyceae) and some bacteria of the Azotobacter and Pseudomonas genera, consisting of 1 → 4 linked β-d-mannuronic acid (M), and its C5-epimer α-l-guluronic acid (G...

Each year, 150,000 tons of Laminaria hyperborea is harvested commercially for alginate production in Norway. Traditionally, formalin has been an attractive preservative in the industry because it inhibits microbial growth and prevents alginate discolouration by cross-binding with polyphenols...

Plastic pollution is an environmental emergency and finding sustainable alternatives to traditional plastics has become a pressing need. Seaweed-based bioplastic has emerged as a promising solution, as it is biodegradable and made from renewable biomass, while seaweed cultivation itself provides...

Brown algae exhibit large seasonal variation in their composition based on nutrient and sunlight access, as well as other environmental factors. The continued growth of brown algae cultivation in Europe is dependent on increased knowledge of these variances, to ensure optimal growth conditions...

Målet med dette oppdraget var å øke kunnskap om hva som kjennetegner minoritetsstress, hvorfor og på hvilken måte ulike minoriteter i Norge opplever minoritetsstress, og hva som er konsekvensene av minoritetsstress i menneskers hverdag. Prosjektet startet med å etablere en referansegruppe, deretter...

Despite growing attention from international and national policies, the implementation of alternative fuel infrastructure and value chains is limited in Norwegian ports. In this report, we analyse to what extent the existing international and Norwegian policies address the challenges that port...

Limiting the carbon intensity of maritime transport is crucial to meet 2050 net-zero targets. Onboard carbon capture and storage (OCCS) offers a practical short-term solution for reducing shipping-related CO₂ emissions until cleaner technologies are ready for large-scale adoption. This study...

... This text is a reflection on today’s organisational management, through an imagined disease, auditism. The empirical material for this reflection is collected mainly in the shipping and aquaculture industries, but other type of data suggest auditism may be prevalent in other industries too...
