SINTEF research areas

SINTEF performs research covering large parts of the battery value chain.

In the future, data will be a key economic asset. The ability to manage and extract value from proprietary data will provide industry players with a competitive advantage, making these data key drivers of economic growth and job creation.

Bio economics is concerned with the economics of producing and processing renewable biological land-based and marine resources, often in connection with a shift to (more) sustainable principles. We develop models for decision support for various bio...

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.

SINTEF has decades of research experience in environmentally friendly and energy- and cost-effective bioenergy

SINTEF has many activities related to processing and utilization of marine- and land-based biomass. Research on land-based biomass mainly focus on the use of residues from agriculture and forestry as raw materials for production of bio-based...

Biotechnology and nanomedicine are key enabling technologies for various sectors of society and multiple industries.

SINTEF conducts research, project investigation, consultancy and third-party control of most types of constructions. We see constructions and physical infrastructure in a life cycle perspective.

We develop new, sustainable building materials in collaboration with the construction industry.

Building physics is about the transport of heat, moisture and air in materials, building components and buildings. Together with the construction industry, we work to understand and manage these processes, especially in roofs and external walls.

A good building process is a criterion for a successful, high-quality building and satisfied users.
