SINTEF projects

The project focuses on demonstrating and verifying a concept for enabling large-scale and hybrid flexible resources.

Accelerate the maritime energy transition and reduce emissions from ships through R&D for innovation and value creation within the Norwegian maritime and energy industries.

RenewHydro aims to develop knowledge and solutions that enable flexible hydropower to support the realization of energy transition and achieve national energy, climate, and environmental goals.

SecurEL facilitates a secure, resilient, and sustainable electricity distribution grid that ensures both the security of electricity supply and a path to a net-zero emissions society.

Expanding wind power generation will help meet net-zero emission targets, but this expansion must be done in a way that minimises harm to wildlife.

Deep integration between machine learning approaches and renewable energy optimization

IPN Freki aims to develop a data-driven process for the pre-qualification of frequency containment reserves (FCR).

The project improves industrial energy efficiency by integrating geothermal energy with high-temperature heat pumps and heat-driven cooling systems, ensuring environmental sustainability and operational flexibility.

ICO2NIC will couple developments in polymer membrane-based CO₂ capture technology with a novel Gas Diffusion electrochemical cell for CO₂ to formic acid conversion. Valorisation of formic acid via innovative biological processing routes will deliver...

Competitive & environment‐friendly thermal energy storage technology

The project aims to design, validate and build an integrated prototype demonstrator that utilizes an immersion cooling system in combination with new, highly efficient materials and systems for long-term thermal energy storage.

The main goal of the project is to develop decision-support methodologies that account for dynamic grid capacity and detailed information about consumption and production in the current grid, as well as for a range of development scenarios.

The main goal of the project is to develop methods and tools for forecasting future load requirements at an aggregated level (regional and transmission grid) for up to 20 years ahead.

Establish the knowledge basis and methodologies necessary for developing a socio-economically favourable and robust coupled offshore and onshore grid.

OpenMod4Africa aims at developing sustainable and reliable energy systems in Africa, and is set to make a significant impact on the continent's energy landscape.

While the power sector is well on its way to becoming fossil-free, most heating demands in Europe and globally are still met with fossil fuels.

MultiStore will develop control and operation strategies for battery energy storage systems (BESS) and hydrogen energy storage systems (HESS) with the aim of maximizing their socio-economic benefits to further facilitate more VRES in the power grid.

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