The viscosities and melting points of SiO2-rich oxide melts depend on their composition. This work presents viscosities, calculated in FactSage, for various binary oxide melts consisting of SiO2 and various levels of a secondary oxide from: [Fe2O3, Al2O3, CaO, K2O]. Also included are the calculated...
This report was made as Deliverable D3.3.3 in the SusFeed NFR project. It responds to the task objective to help in modelling value chains for the new feed solutions of Grass, Algae and Insects; their economic viability, logistics of a new and established chain, and impacts on other related chains...
Input-output modeling allows to study the possible impacts to environmental and socioeconomic areas from decisions surrounding sustainability and business competitiveness. By way of two case studies, this report identifies challenges and presents methods for scenario implementation and indicator...
This document provides the theory manual and user manual for two finite elements for the modeling of hydrogen-induced embrittlement of metallic materials. The cohesive zone element (CZE) allows to simulate the creation of new surfaces and the corresponding absorption of energy. The absorption of...
The state-of-the-art report consist of an overview and a summary of the mechanical behaviour of pipeline steels (in the range of X42-X70) when exposed to electrochemical charging and gaseous hydrogen environment. Experimental data from tensile-, fracture -and fatigue tests in air and hydrogen...
Moving towards a sustainable future requires substantial upscaling of low-carbon technologies, many of which rely heavily on key critical minerals. To be in line with the Paris agreement, the International Energy Agency estimates demand for minerals to quadruple by 2040. Demand for cobalt, lithium...
SINTEF har i 2024 gjennomført et prosjekt med støtte fra Forskningsmidlene for jordbruk og matindustri (FFL/JA), der hovedmålet var å kartlegge muligheter og utfordringer innenfor vertikal innendørs dyrking i Norge. Denne rapporten utgjør en av leveransene fra dette prosjektet. Som en del av...
On potentially highly congested railroad networks, demand for passenger and freight transport is affected not only by the available capacity but also by the consequences of the achieved punctuality and regularity: Poor on-time performance increases travel costs and, hence, makes rail less...
This report explores how Norway can strengthen its position in the battery value chain and support Europe's transition toward a sustainable, competitive battery industry. The battery demand in Norway is projected for different socio-economic pathways using IFE-TIMES-Norway, a long-term optimization...
The amount of municipal solid waste generated is steadily increasing, while natural resources are depleted more and more. In this regard, efficient waste management and treatment are central to ensure that as many valuable resources as possible can be recovered at best possible quality. This should...
This report gives an overview of aluminium packaging flows in Norway illus-trated with diagrams where the metal flow arrows are proportional to the ton-nage between distinct collection/processing steps. The results show that most of the used beverage cans are collected through the deposit system...
Orkanger er et industriområde i Trøndelag der sirkulær økonomi kan settes i system og skape økonomiske og miljømessige gevinster samt fremtidige industriarbeidsplasser. En bie-sirkulær industriklynge som utnytter ressurser mer effektivt kan være møteplass og utviklingsarena for den fremtidige...
The transition towards a net-zero economy will require a large-scale implementation of low-carbon technologies. Concerns have been raised whether the availability of minerals will be a bottleneck for the green transition, prompting discussion about the opening new mining frontiers for supplying...
This report summarizes the main results from the slow strain rate tensile testing campaign performed within the framework of the HyLINE project. The base metals and weld simulated heat affected zones of four pipeline steels, in four different positions of the pipes, have been tested under in-situ...
The enablers of Norwegian shipbuilding excellence are cutting edge technology and proactive team behaviour to effectively share & combine resources and knowledge to quickly handle disturbances. That said, the average cost overrun of frequent changes in the industry is high, and with steadily...
This report investigates the collection of aluminium packaging, particularly in China, the United States and the European Union. A literature search among journal articles using Google Scholar, company and organization reports and newspapers was conducted. As recycling of aluminium requires only...
The hydrogen susceptibility on mechanical properties of a new (Steel A) and a "vintage" (Steel B) X65 pipeline steel, have been investigated by (1) in-situ micromechanical tensile testing and (2) in-situ electrochemical nanoindentation. The tensile samples were extracted from the inner and middle...
