Floating wind power at sea

SeaTwirl is looking to become the market leader in marine wind power. The company’s proprietary wind turbine, which rotates like a floating carousel on the surface of the ocean, has already garnered a great deal of attention. In p…

Opportunity for Swedish industries to benefit from electrofuels

The necessary technical processes are already available to us electricity to create fuel using water and exhaust gases. The challenge is to turn these processes into sustainable, cost-effective production. RISE is collaborating wi…

Icy winds will test tomorrow’s wind turbines

Northern Sweden is home to vast, uninhabited areas with energy-rich winds; however, the technology required to handle the extreme cold and icy winds is as yet untested. The Uljabuouda Cold Climate Test Centre gives us that ab…

Smart cities will give lower carbon emissions and better energy efficiency

80% of Europeans live in cities. RISE is currently running the EU project, Sinfonia, which focuses on the important role of cities in the transition to a more resource-efficient and low-carbon economy.

Ecodesign for green products

Thanks to the EU Ecodesign Directive, our energy-consuming products are becoming increasingly eco-friendly.  As an entrepreneur, it is imperative that your products comply with the Ecodesign Directive, otherwise they are not …

Efficient mixer taps save energy

In excess of 20% of Sweden’s energy use comes from heating and the production of hot water. A RISE project has demonstrated that there are large savings to be made by using more energy-efficient mixer taps. The documentation used …

Will there be enough electricity for electric cars?

The ongoing conversion from fossil fuels to electricity in the automotive sector is one of the factors that has affected electricity demand. At the same time, vehicle operators are seeing an ever greater demand for electric cars. …

Fuel cell vehicles replace exhaust gases with water

Fuel cell vehicles (FCVs) have been somewhat overshadowed by battery-driven electric vehicles, which are currently promoted as the hottest alternative to petrol and diesel vehicles by the media. Fuel cell vehicles do however have …

How AI can make data centres energy efficient

Making data centres more energy efficient could potentially influence global electricity consumption, thereby contributing markedly to sustainable development. The work is complex and a slew of factors must be taken into account, …

Epspot makes electricity available

Why can’t electricity change ownership easily? This is a question that Jan Olin has contemplated for many years. In the end, he decided to do something about it and founded EpSpot.  Four years later, EpSpot counts Scania…

More renewable energy with energy-positive districts

Nearly 60 % of the world’s carbon dioxide emissions are attributable to the energy sector. Cities are one of the biggest sources of emissions and, just 100 cities are responsible for 18 % of those emissions. One solution to the pr…

Solar energy in northern conditions

For most, the dark winter months, when there are very few daylight hours, lots of snow and cold, probably don’t sound like the most ideal conditions for producing electricity using solar cells. However, there are more possibilitie…
