First hydrodynamic tests of a 3×3 floating wind park with shared mooring

The cost and footprint of our future floating wind parks must come down, and being able to share mooring lines and anchors could…

Predicting the future energy system: modelling offshore wind in the power grid

Achieving a sustainable zero-emission society requires profound changes to the energy system. About half of Norway’s overall energy consumption is fossil based. Decarbonising this half of the energy consumption and simultaneously facilitating sustainable growth in Norway are key challenges going forward.

Why experiments and modelling are necessary for the safe design and operation of CO₂ transport systems

CO₂ capture, transport and storage (CCS) systems are an important part of our toolbox for mitigating climate change. However, increased R&D efforts are needed to facilitate an efficient and safe scaling up of CCS to the level needed to mitigate climate change. In his keynote speech at TCCS-12, SINTEF Chief Scientist Svend Tollak Munkejord discussed why both experiments and models are a necessary part of this effort.
