SINTEF projects

At SINTEF we have a strategic project to investigate the possibilities and application areas of quantum computers to solve practically relevant problems.

The EU Strategic Energy Technology Plan (SET-Plan) was launched in 2008 and updated in 2015. It coordinates European low-carbon research and innovation activities.

Efficient and climate-friendly snowmaking

As many European countries, Norway has still a significant length of non-electrified railways. New technologies like hydrogen fuel cells and batteries can be a better option than expensive catenary lines.

Energy system models are used, among other things, to understand different development pathways for the energy system and their consequences.

BIOCYCLES aims to increase the sustainability of today's bio-based industries by creating a new biomarine production. This production is based on the cultivation of crustaceans that recycles and fully utilises rest raw materials and converts them...

Grid Interconnection protocols for largely dispersed minigrids/microgrids for electrification of rural India

ACTION aims to transform the way we do citizen science today.

The project will develop knowledge and specifications that simplify and automate design and operation of safety instrumented systems in the petroleum industry. Project results will help industry partners develop new solutions for collecting...

SINTEF has through advanced 3D imaging and analysis developed technology that can easily provide up-to-date information about fish biomass for the aquaculture industry.

Propylene production is classified as the 4th largest emitter of greenhouse gases among the major chemical compounds. As the polypropylene market is huge and still growing, it is essential to find alternatives to current, energy-intensive production...

The Digicast project is dedicated to developing Intelligent Casting systems for Aluminium DC-casting by combining process know-how in the form of a digital process twin with visualization technologies.

The Digital Worker ERA will focus on exposure, physical and organisational factors for workers in the petroleum industry. We will build new knowledge on real-time exposure assessment of chemical, physiological strain and the human factors elements of...

The primary objective of this project is to develop and apply a cost-efficient CO₂ monitoring concept using time-lapse CSEM and demonstrate its readiness for the future Norwegian large-scale CO₂ storage project (Smeaheia/Johansen).

In January 2019, care pathways within specialist mental health and substance abuse treatment services were officially launched in Norway (pakkeforløp for psykisk helse og rus). SINTEF evaluated this reform the first two years after introduction. The...

Optimal Consumer Response with Future Power Tariffs and Price-Sensitive Electricity Customers

Elkem with the support of NTNU and SINTEF aims to develop a premium silicon grade dedicated to silicones production.

This project will make use of the advancements in silicon micro-machining and modern material deposition to produce novel solid-state neutron detectors featuring 3-dimensional micro-structures filled with neutron converting materials. This approach...
