Gas Technology For New Generations

Thirty years ago, "natural gas" was an obscure term for many people. Today Norway is the third largest exporter of this much sought-after natural resource.

Transition to a Greener Society

As gas scientists we have the ability to make our planet greener. Natural gas is cleaner than oil and coal. For the environment an increased gas consumption is a step in the right direction towards a society where renewable sources of energy will take over.

As specialists on gas technology, we also contribute to economic growth and new jobs. Natural gas can be refined into a wide range of products - from proteins to liquid, environmental fuel.

The Gas Technology Centre - which encompasses approximately 300 researchers - will increase the cross-disciplinary research and teaching at NTNU and SINTEF. When combining our strengths in this manner, we also dare to set high ambitions.

High Ambitions

Our goal is to build new knowledge and new technology for an efficient and environmentally sustainable exploitation of natural gas - one that can form the basis for a new industrial boom in Norway.

Furthermore, at NTNU and SINTEF we are paving the way for the hydrogen society.

It is with great expectations we are now press the "gas" pedal to the metal!
