Projects in fire safety

BIOSAFIRE - Development and manufacture of new, more sustainable and safer materials using biobased functionalised additives based on lingin and tannins to improve fire resistance

The segment for smaller vessels is currently underutilized, but several companies in the industry are driving the development and the issue of appropriate fire safety acceptance criteria for small vessels in national traffic, constructed with lightweight materials is highly relevant.

A research project for reduced fire risk onboard Roll-on/Roll-off ships.

RISE is now carrying out a project together with KTH, Uppsala University and RISE Fire Research AS to validate a new hydrogen tank for large-scale hydrogen bunkering adapted to maritime applications and the future needs of shipping.

Electrification of transport sector has a strong momentum with rapidly growing quantity of Electric Vehicles (EV) being transported in marine vehicle carriers between the continents and near the coasts. This project aims to ensure a safe transportation of Lithium-Ion Battery (LIB) driven vehicles i…

The project aims to form a holistic description of vulnerability that is quantifiable and transferable from spatial and temporal variables. Using this as a basis, the distribution of responsibility and roles of actors can be described and processed in the cross-sectoral dialogue.

Accounting for fire safety engineering using building information modeling - tool to support actors from building sector.

To enable RISE to fulfill its mission of promoting sustainable growth in Sweden by enhancing the competitiveness and renewal of the business sector and contributing to innovative development, strong networks are needed. To create this network for the forest and wood industry, a collaboration agreem…

Battery Sweden (BASE) is a center funded by Vinnova from 2020-2030 and headed by Uppsala University. RISE activities within BASE, including scale-up, production, solid-state Li-battery processes and manufacturing technology.

Research of the fire performance of CLT and Glued Laminated Timber buildings, with visible wood surfaces.

The project is formed in accordance with the Invitation to Tender for “Finalisation of the European approach to assess the fire performance of facades” (Call for tenders No 761/PP/GRO/IMA/19/1133/11140) of the European commission (September 2019). The objective of the project is to finalise the met…

The project has demonstrated various ways to design and construct a multi-story building with a load-bearing timber structure (20+ stories) and has strengthened knowledge among the participating stakeholders. The results provide a foundation for future projects and contribute to the development of …
