Approaches to Social Innovation in Positive Energy Districts (PEDs)—A Comparison of Norwegian Projects
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)The Positive Energy District (PED) concept is a localized city and district level response to the challenges of greenhouse gas emission reduction and energy transition. With the Strategic Energy Transition (SET) Plan aiming ... -
Bioeconomic Clusters—Background, Emergence, Localization and Modelling
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Industrial Clusters, especially those based on biologically sourced materials and their derivative products, can play an important role in the global shift to more sustainable production methods and ecological economic ... -
Can Energy Depletion of Wild Atlantic Salmon Kelts Negotiating Hydropower Facilities Lead to Reduced Survival?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Repeat spawners constitute an important component of Atlantic salmon populations, but survival of post-spawning individuals (kelts) are often compromised by anthropogenic structures such as hydropower plants (HPPs). Potential ... -
Coupling Field Observations and Geographical Information System (GIS)-Based Analysis for Improved Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SUDS) Performance
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Urbanization and increased precipitation volumes and intensities due to climate change add pressure to the urban drainage system, resulting in increased flooding frequencies of urban areas and deteriorating water quality ... -
Decarbonizing Maritime Transport: The Importance of Engine Technology and Regulations for LNG to serve as a Transition Fuel
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Current Greenhous gas emissions (GHG) from maritime transport represent around 3% of global anthropogenic GHG emissions and will have to be cut in half by 2050 to meet Paris agreement goals. Liquefied natural gas (LNG) is ... -
Digital Cement Integrity: A Methodology for 3D Visualization of Cracks and Microannuli in Well Cement
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Leakages of greenhouse gases, such as methane and carbon dioxide from wells, may have considerable environmental consequences. Although much emphasis is currently put on understanding well barrier failures, and thus, ... -
Ecohydraulic Modelling to Support Fish Habitat Restoration Measures
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019) -
Evaluating Cost Trade-Offs between Hydropower and Fish Passage Mitigation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)To promote the sustainable management of hydropower, decision makers require information about cost trade-offs between the restoration of fish passage and hydropower production. We provide a systematic overview of the ... -
From Zero Emission Buildings (ZEB) to Zero Emission Neighbourhoods (ZEN): A Mapping Review of Algorithm-Based LCA
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)The building industry is responsible for approximately 40% of energy consumption and 36% of greenhouse gas emissions in the European Union (EU). The most efficient way of reducing a building’s environmental impact is ... -
Multi‐Stage Validation of a Solar Irradiance Model Chain: An Application at High Latitudes
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Evaluating how the sources of uncertainty in solar modelling (e.g., input parameters, developed model chain) can influence the results’ accuracy is one of the main challenges when applied at high latitudes. In this study, ... -
A Novel Concept for Sustainable Food Production Utilizing Low Temperature Industrial Surplus Heat
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Low temperature industrial surplus heat represents a major energy source that is currently only rarely utilized due to its low quality. An agricluster allows for the leveraging of this low-quality heat and, hence, may ... -
Range-Gated Imaging System for Underwater Monitoring in Ocean Environment
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)High-quality video observations are very much needed in underwater environments for the monitoring of several ecosystem indicators and to support the sustainable development and management of almost all activities in the ... -
Regional aspects of a climate and energy tax reform in Norway – exploring double and multiple dividends
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)We investigate the potential for double or even multiple dividends arising from a climate and energy tax reform (CETR), using a regional computable general equilibrium model. Such dividends indicate if government revenues ... -
A Sustainability Assessment Framework for On-Site and Off-Site Construction Logistics
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Urban areas pay increasing attention to new construction and infrastructure works, mainly due to the rapid global rise in urbanisation. In the long run, these works have a positive correlation with the economic and social ... -
The Sustainable Development Goals — Sensible Initiative or Just Nonsense? An Investigation of Norwegian Citizens’ Knowledge and Attitudes
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Abstract: We explore what associations Norwegian citizens have with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through an analysis of their knowledge of and attitudes towards these goals. To achieve this, we combine three ... -
T90 Codends Improve the Size Selectivity and Catch Efficiency of Shrimp Trawl Fisheries for Southern Velvet Shrimp (Metapenaeopsis palmensis) in the South China Sea
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)In order to obtain gear-based management instruments of shrimp trawl fishery for southern velvet shrimp in the South China Sea (SCS), the size selectivity and catch efficiency of four codends were tested and compared. These ... -
Techno-Economic Assessment of the Supercritical Carbon Dioxide Enhanced Geothermal Systems
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Enhanced geothermal systems distinguish themselves among other technologies that utilize renewable energy sources by their possibility of the partial sequestration of carbon dioxide (CO2). Thus, CO2 in its supercritical ... -
The Effects of In-Home Displays — Revisiting the Context
