SINTEF projects

FME ZeMe developes the fundamental knowledge and technologies needed by the Norwegian metallurgical industry to become climate neutral by 2050.

The Mecalo project will use hydrogen to convert CO₂ emissions from metal production into a raw material that can be returned to the value chain. This way, the production of critical raw materials like silicon and manganese can be made CO₂-neutral...

The outcome of this project will lead to an improved process for dissolving and refining Ir, Ru and other PGMs from existing and potentially growing wastes, i.e., PEM electrolysers.

The project aims to develop and demonstrate methods for robust online sampling, modelling and prediction of heavy metal emissions associated with dust from the aluminium industry.

Provide the knowledge needed to reduce fossil CO₂ emissions from Norwegian Ferroalloy and Si-production industry with 40% within 2030 by substituting fossil carbon with biocarbon.

Complying with the Paris Climate Agreement will mean that the EU economy of 2050 is set to be mineral/metal intensive, rather than one based on fossil fuels.

ZeSiM will eliminate CO₂-emissions from manganese ferroalloy and silicon production by replacing the carbon reductants with renewable energy in the most direct way possible: through electrowinning.

The FIREFLY project supports the sustainable evolution of the catalyst-based chemical industry towards its electrification and reduced third-party dependence on metals and fossil energy.

The Sure2Coat project will demonstrate the benefit of surface treatments with respect to corrosion protection and to improved heat transfer properties.

Structural reliable offshore floating pv solution integrating circular concrete floating breakwater.

H4C Europe aims to accelerate the transition to industrial symbiosis, industrial-urban symbiosis, and circular economy by promoting what is called Hubs4Circularities.

Achieving Europe’s climate-neutral objectives will fundamentally depend on our ability to develop clean energy and mobility solutions in the most sustainable way.

AleMo develop high-pressure die cast aluminium alloys with improved properties and/or reduced CO₂ footprint to increase the use of aluminium in electrically-powered vehicles.

The REVEAL project will develop a new technical solution for storing large amounts of energy with an energy storage density of more than 15 MWh/m3 at low cost to produce heat and electricity in winter.

The LEAn project will develop catalytic coatings based on affordable and readily available components, which in addition reduce the metal industry's energy needs.

HARARE's overall objective is to eliminate waste from the metallurgical industry while recovering valuable materials and encouraging the use of hydrogen in the industry.

The objective of the project is to get rid of a waste challenge and at the same time create products of value, demonstrated at pilot scale. In addition, the effect of circularity in quantification of sustainability is studied.

The BioCoke4FAI project aims to develop an innovative and economically viable technology for bio-coke production for the ferroalloys industry.
