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.
BioSynGas aims at improving many aspects of biogas production plants in Norway. Biogas plants face numerous challenges most of them are related to the so called digestate, a by-product that should be exploited as it contains important nutrients that...
As an efficient transport method, maritime shipping has been the backbone of the world economy, accounting for over 75 % of the global trade by volume. Consequently, international shipping is responsible for 2 % of global greenhouse gas emissions. To...
Norway is 2.4 % circular (2020) so there is substantial room for improvement. Increasing circularity will require a complete re-organisation of our society bringing challenges but also opportunities.
The project addresses Norway's ambition to decarbonise the offshore petroleum sector while retaining its international competitiveness.
CO2SMOS aims to develop cost-effective routes to produce high added-value bio-based chemicals from bio-based industrial CO2 emissions and renewable energy sources (green H2 and biomass).
The aim of the project is to contribute to the further development of a Virtual Reality (VR) system for virtual workshops that enhances collaboration, creativity, and ideation at work.
The goal of Cool'em is to develop a superior cooling technology based on the elastocaloric effect.
In DeMoKab, the objective is to investigate how the insulation materials currently used in high-voltage direct current (HVDC) cables withstand temporary overvoltages that may occur in future power grids.
The goal of DIGITAL TWIN is to develop modelling software necessary to design a digital twin for an offshore bottoming cycle with respect to optimizing its operational efficiency and reliability.
Fish on their downstream migration in rivers often encounter hydropower dams and intakes and tend to follow the main flow into the turbines where they may be injured or killed. While fine-meshed racks with a bypass can prevent fish from entering...
FME NorthWind (Norwegian Research Centre on Wind Energy) will bring forward outstanding research and innovation to create jobs and grow exports, and to facilitate the sustainable development of wind power.
Emissions from petroleum production stand for over 25% of Norway's total CO2 emissions, and these must be significantly reduced for the country to reach its ambitions in the Paris Agreement.
The production of photovoltaic modules generates significant resource flows, much of which currently becomes waste, including silicon kerf, graphite, and silica from ingot production.
Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is seen as a promising technology to meet climate goals. In a not-so-distant future, the CCS clusters consisting of different CO2 sources with large variations in flow rates, operating conditions, and impurity content...
NCS C+ aims to develop four climate-positive technologies that will help increase the pace of the green transition and remove large volumes of carbon dioxide and methane from the atmosphere.
Gas insulated switchgear (GIS) are essential parts of a safe, robust, and flexible energy system.
Automotive car makers increasingly use light-weight aluminium structures to reduce the environmental footprint of cars during life-of-use (lower energy consumption) and to allow for the heavy batteries used in electric vehicles.
