KLIMAFORSK-Stort program klima

Climate Policy, Psychology and Indicators

Our project springs out of two interrelated observations: 1. The "psychological climate paradox": Whilst natural sciences are producing ever-more compelling evidence that anthropogenic forcing creates an increasingly unstable global climate, public aware ness of and interest in climate change ha...

Plasma carbon from natural gas to aluminium anodes

Globally 20.000 kt/year of carbon anodes are consumed in the processing of alumina, 450 kt/year in Norway. If 5 - 15 % of the carbon in the anode is made from natural gas with microwave plasma technology, the performance of the carbon anodes can be improv ed (density, conductivity, permeability, ...

GASSMAKS-Økt verdiskaping fra naturgass

Cold plasma conversion of natural gas to petrochemical products

The route from natural gas to chemical products generally involves large scale, high temperature processes and high capital costs. In lab setups microwave plasma processes have shown to generate products such as olefins and ammonia from natural gas under mild process conditions. This project wil...

GASSMAKS-Økt verdiskaping fra naturgass

Gasplas cold plasma cracking of natural gas to carbon polymers

This pre-project will bring together some leading researchers on the topic in order to define the most central R&D challenges for the main project. Since this is - to our knowledge - the first microwave plasma reformer that makes continuous growth of CNTs and CNPs possible, the main project will...
