High temperature heat pumps will reduce CO2 emissions and lower energy use
Some industries require temperatures of between 100 and 180 degrees. A high temperature heat pump is able to deliver this, so it has great commercial potential. The reduction of climate gas emissions is a global challenge for todays and future generations to minimize the impact…
From cozy woodstove to sustainable and healthy woodstove technology
Hopefully my PhD project will contribute to a sustainable woodstove future, where the impact on climate is mitigated and the air quality will be improved, which will improve people’s health and quality of life. I am researching woodburning stoves, and the impact they have on…
We need to find more efficient ways to recycle metals
Metals are less available than before, and a lot of them come from geopolitically critical areas. I investigate a way to make metal production more sustainable, through recycling. We have been facing the limits of growth for a long time, and that strongly affects the…
What we talk about when we talk about heat pump drying
Drying as preservation method can be used on everything from fruits or berries to medical powders and to pet food. At NTNU we have designed and built a single stage heat pump dryer with carbon dioxide that is more efficient and more environmentally friendly than…
