The objective of the scheme for Centres for Environment-friendly Energy Research (FME) is to establish time-limited research centres which conduct concentrated, focused and long-term research of high international calibre in order to solve specific challenges in the field.


Centres with participants from the MN Faculty

Norwegian CCS Research Centre (NCCS)

NCCS will enable fast-track CCS deployment through industry-driven science-based innovation, addressing the major barriers identified within demonstration and industry projects, aiming at becoming a world-leading CCS centre.

The Norwegian Research Centre for Sustainable Solar Cell Technology (Solar United)

The centre is a consortium that aims at further developing the strong Norwegian photovoltaic  industry, and producing substantial contributions towards making solar energy a significant renewable energy source. The nodes of this consortium are IFE, NTNU, SINTEF and UiO, together with the Norwegian photovoltaic industry.

MoZEES - Mobility Zero Emission Energy Systems

The main objective with MoZEES is to be a Center for Environment-friendly Energy Research (FME) with the goal to develop new battery and hydrogen materials, components, and technologies for existing and future transport applications on road, rail, and sea.

BIGCCS Centre – International CCS Research Centre

BIGCCS Centre – International CCS Research Centre will enable sustainable power generation from fossil fuels based on cost-effective CO2 capture, and safe transport and underground storage of CO2. This will be achieved by building expertise and closing critical knowledge gaps of the CO2 chain, and developing novel technologies in an extensive collaborative research effort. BIGCCS is directed by Mona Jacobsen Mølnvik, SINTEF Energy Resarch.

SUCCESS Centre - SUbsurface CO2 storage – Critical Elements and Superior Strategy

SUbsurface CO2 storage – Critical Elements and Superior Strategy (SUCCESS) will work for successfully subsurface storage of CO2. Three geological characteristics as Storage Capacity, Injection Rate Limits and Confinement will be focused. SUCCESS is directed by Arvid Nøttvedt, Christian Michelsen Research (CMR).

The Norwegian Research Centre for Solar Cell Technology

The Norwegian Research Centre for Solar Cell Technology joins the major Norwegian scientific and industrial players in the field of photovoltaic technology. The Centre aims at further developing the strong, Norwegian photovoltaic industry and substantially contributing towards making solar energy a significant renewable energy source. The centre is directed by Erik Stensrud Marstein, Institute for Energy Technology (IFE).
