Norwegian farmed Atlantic salmon is a nutritious type of food in increasing demand and although production has stagnated and is faced by various challenges, it is likely to continue to expand in the future. We present results from a detailed greenhouse gas emission assessment of the most important...
Fisheries management is moving from a single-species to an ecosystem-based approach to better balance the technical, biological, and economic aspects of the many mixed-species fisheries in the world. Most mixed fisheries are conducted with trawl gears, which have a hereditary challenge of providing...
...“This is the place where green talk becomes green reality,” said Minister of Fisheries and Ocean Policy Marianne Sivertsen Næss during the opening of the first two laboratories at the Norwegian Ocean Technology Centre. The Structures Laboratory and the Maritime Energy Systems Laboratory are now...
...– Her er stedet hvor grønt snakk blir til grønn virkelighet, sa fiskeri- og havminister Marianne Sivertsen Næss under åpningen av de to første laboratoriene i Norsk havteknologisenter: Konstruksjonslaboratoriet og Laboratoriet for maritime energisystemer står nå ferdig på Torgard utenfor Trondheim....
For Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) systems, accurate multiphase flow predictions are important to achieve safe and cost-effective design and operation. The multiphase flow simulator LedaFlow was originally developed for hydrocarbon production systems, but due to the rapid emergence of CCS...
Pavel Stransky fra Sintef Helgeland forteller om DINAMINE-prosjektet, og hvordan man kan bruke sosioøkonomiske bærekraftsindikatorer til å forstå gruvens påvirkninger. Gjennom praktiske eksempler og utfordringer belyser presentasjonen hvorfor det er viktig å se på bærekraft som en helhet for å sikre...
Serious games - presented a Serious Game of marine plastic pollution in the Arctic developed by House of Knowledge in Norway and played it with 100 players at the conference. ...
Life cycle assessment (LCA) methods are increasingly being suggested for monitoring environmental performances in the mining sector. These methods provide comprehensive insights into the environmental impacts of mining activities, helping to identify areas for improvement and drive sustainable...
It is necessary to minimize operational risks prior to a wave energy converter (WEC) being introduced to the market. Failure modes and their underlying causes can be identified by a failure analysis, typically with the aim of implementing remedial actions to address problems and lower the likelihood...
The demand for autonomous robotic solutions capable of operating in complex and dangerous environments – such as those found in inspection and maintenance (I&M) operations – is growing. However, the success of autonomous system deployments relies heavily on their actual and human-perceived safety...
This paper studies the maritime fleet composition problem with uncertain future fuel and carbon prices under the restriction of complying with future greenhouse gas (GHG) emission restrictions. We propose a two-stage stochastic programming model that can be adapted to two different variants of this...
In this work, we present a boundary and hole detection approach that traverses all the boundaries of an edge-manifold triangular mesh, irrespectively of the presence of singular vertices, and subsequently determines and labels all holes of the mesh. The proposed automated hole-detection method is...
