Drone Laboratory
SINTEF Drone Laboratory is an arena for development of drone hardware and software.
By imitating nature, it may be possible to recover seabed minerals by extracting hot water from the Earth’s crust. We can harvest green energy and be sensitive to the environment – all at the same time.
Investing in research, local manufacturing and secure access to materials is needed to solidify Norway’s position as a leader in sustainable batteries.
Today, products that utilise rare materials are for the most part manufactured in China. However, the EU has recently decided to boost its raw materials supply security. Researchers and the minerals industry are now looking to Norway.
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.
Extractive industries, including refractory raw material production, are responsible for a significant part of the world’s carbon emissions and has a strong impact on the loss of biodiversity. Establishing a circular economy and developing an...
