Climate and environment

Ammonia is increasingly being considered as a promising zero-emission alternative fuel for decarbonising the maritime sector.

Every day, biodiversity – our strongest natural defense against climate change, is threatened by different human activities. At the same time, we need to drive innovation further to develop new solutions to mitigate for climate change.

For decades, SINTEF has closely collaborated with the industry on a wide range of technologies to develop solutions for carbon capture, storage, and utilization, thereby contributing to significant reductions in greenhouse gas emissions.

A circular economy aims to keep products, components, and materials at their highest utility and value at all times.

Circular bioeconomy means that we are able to recycle most of the biological waste we throw away. For example, leftover food, wood and leather products.

The Norwegian climate has always set the premises for the design of buildings. In addition, global warming is now increasing the vulnerability of the built environment, and building structures and infrastructure in parts of the country must withstand...

If we are to succeed with limiting the increase in global temperatures to 1.5°C, we need to remove greenhouse gases from the atmosphere.

SINTEF collaborates with the construction industry to reduce greenhouse gas emissions related to construction activities and develop zero-emission solutions and new technologies.

Buildings account for forty percent of the total energy consumption in Norway. In order to solve the electricity crisis and reach the climate targets, we must improve energy efficiency.

The greenest energy is the type you never use.

We participate in developing future transport systems.

The Ocean covers 70% of Earth, and consists of a mosaic of different governance constellations that Norway, and Norwegian research and industries, have to work within.

As a fuel, hydrogen is powerful enough to launch NASA’s space shuttles.

Marine ecosystems include biotic organisms and abiotic elements the free water masses and the seabed in all sea areas from fjords and coastal areas to the open sea.

In 2030, green mobility will be one of the most important business areas in the world.

SINTEF creates the future’s energy solutions

Our aims are to assist in developing cities that are good to live in, and to promote massive services innovation

The world needs better water infrastructure and new solutions for safe and sustainable management, treatment, and water distribution.
