4 Prosjektnummer: National Surface and Interface Characterisation Laboratory-NICE II SINTEF Spyros Diplas UiO, NTNU NICE II is an expansion of the infrastructure project NICE which established a national laboratory for physical and chemical characterization of surfaces and interfaces. NICE is based on two nodes and successfully implemented the investments of 1 TAP, 1 ToF-SIMS, and 2 XPS instruments. NICE satisfies characterisation needs of various user groups within the research fields of catalysis, PV technology, H2 production, storage and transport, thermoelectric materials, Al alloys and processing, steels, Si, intermetallic and oxide powders etc. The NICE II project builds on NICE and proposes mainly five investment actions at the two nodes Oslo and Trondheim. NICE II aims towards: 1) installing the first laboratory-based ambient pressure APXPS unit in Norway, 2) procuring a next generation multi-technique UHV-XPS unit with in situ sample preparation/treatment via glove box and thermochemical pre-treatment cells, 3) integrating XPS into a unique operando STM in Oslo (AVIT funded in 2015), 4) establishing cutting-edge time-resolved AP-XPS experiments at the MAX IV synchrotron in tandem with the Oslo-based TAP instrument, 5) facilitate an integrated workflow among the different complementary instruments and promote a collaborative use of the national infrastructure via a suitcase sample transfer system. The NICE-II infrastructure is optimized for high throughput and surface sensitive operando studies. It will act as a robust home laboratory environment for preparation and screening studies before conducting advanced experiments at large scale synchrotron facilities including MAX IV in Sweden, ALS in the USA, and ERSF in France. NICE II will cover needs of various user groups with activities within the national research priority areas addressing TRL levels 1-9. NICE-II will both strengthen existing and establish new synergies within the emerging community of users within catalysis, energy material technologies (e.g. electrodes for batteries, photocatalysis, electrolysers), smart materials, semiconductor, sensor and actuator technology, biomaterials, hybrid materials, life science, material degradation e.g., corrosion, oxidation, weathering etc. The infrastructure is technically entirely complementary to existing characterisation infrastructures national centre for X-ray diffraction, scattering and imaging, (RECX), transmission electron microscopy (NORTEM), Norwegian Laboratory for Mineral and Materials Characterisation (MiMaC) and will serve the needs of the infrastructure on advanced fabrication (NORFAB) which requires surface analysis of micro-nano structures, thin films and interfaces. It will be also bridge national instrumentation and expertise to international largescale synchrotron-based surface characterisation (MAX IV, ESRF, etc.) kroner Nanoteknologi og avanserte materialer Bioteknologi, Klima og miljø, Miljøvennlig energi

5 Prosjektnummer: NcNeutron - Norwegian Center for neutron research - phase II IFE Bjørn C. Hauback UiO, UiS, SINTEF, NTNU NcNeutron inkluderer 7 moderne instrumenter for nøytronspredning og avbildning lokalisert i IFEs JEEP II forskningsreaktor på Kjeller. Disse instrumentene har ulike funksjoner og bruksområder. Nøytronspredning og avbildning er viktig og relevant for en rekke forskjellige fagområder og disipliner som for eksempel fysikk, kjemi, geologi, biologi, materialvitenskap og nanoteknologi, medisin, energi og miljø. NcNeutron består av fire hovedaktiviteter: konstruksjon av 2 nye nøytroninstrumenter, betydelig oppgradering av et eksisterende instrument og oppgradering av oppsett for produksjon av såkalt kalde nøytroner som er sentralt for to av instrumentene. Den første bevilgningen til NcNeutron inkluderer kun instrumentoppbygging/oppgradering og ikke finansiering av utstyr for å gjøre eksperimenter ved forskjellige prøveomgivelser. NcNeutron II søknaden vil være utstyr for avanserte prøveomgivelser for de 7 instrumentene som utgjør NcNeutron. Der det er realistisk og mulig, vil denne instrumenteringen kunne brukes på flere av NcNeutron-instrumentene, men for andre enheter må det skreddersys for spesielle instrumenter. Det vil også være oppsett som kan brukes ved andre internasjonale nøytronanlegg i tillegg til JEEP II. De viktigste utstyrsenhetene er: - Magneter for både nøytrondiffraksjon og -reflektometri - Celler for elektrokjemiske eksperimenter - Oppsett for kjøling og oppvarming (flere oppsett tilpasset instrumentene) - In-situ celler (temperatur, forskjellige gasser, trykk) - Rheometer kombinert med SANS - Oppsett for nøytronavbildning i brenselceller og elektrolysører - Strekktesting av materialer kombinert med diffraksjonsekperiment og nøytronavbildning - Kammer for kontrollert atmosfære Via nøytroninstrumenteringen i NcNeutron og investering i tilleggsutstyr for instrumentene, vil NcNeutron sammen med NcNeutron II betydelig utvide mulighetene og interessen for nøytronbaserte metodene i norske og internasjonale brukermiljøer, inkludert brukere fra industrien. Tilleggsutstyret vil gjøre det mulig å gjennomføre eksperimenter med forskjellige ytre påvirkninger. Parallelt med arbeidet med NcNeutron pågår arbeidet ved European Spallation Source (ESS) hvor Norge bidrar med 2.5% av investeringen. Fram til planlagt brukertilgang ved ESS for de 3 første instrumentene i løpet av 2023 og alle 15 nåværende finansierte instrumentene i løpet av 2026, er JEEP II og NcNeutron det eneste anlegget for slike eksperimenter i Norden kroner Nanoteknologi og avanserte materialer IKT, Klima og miljø, Medisin og helse, Miljøvennlig energi

8 Prosjektnummer: Norwegian Centre for X-ray Diffraction, Scattering and Imaging REsource Centre X-rays (RECX-II) UiO Helmer Fjellvåg UiO The current national centre for X-ray diffraction, scattering and imaging, RECX, has brought together and coordinated instrumentation and competence at leading X-ray laboratories at UiO and NTNU. A key rationale for RECX is to operate two complementary modes providing the research community with state-ofthe- art X-ray facilities at both UiO and NTNU, where in addition one mode (UiO) has focused on regular and advanced analysis based on cutting-edge commercial systems, while the second (NTNU) has focused on establishing flexible and modular set-ups to tailor a range of sophisticated experiments. For RECX there has been more than 250 unique users of the facilities at UiO and NTNU during The existing RECX instrumentation matches identified needs, as requested by disciplines, technologies and nationally prioritized thematic efforts and covers thereby broad interests of chemistry, physics, materials/nanoscience; and technologies like energy, environment, catalysis, processes, pharmacy, sensors and microsystems, medicine (diagnostics and therapy) and metallurgy. The vision for RECX-II is to strengthen these broad user aspects even further, benefiting from recent developments on optics and detectors, as well on auxiliary equipment. RECX-II focuses on new instrumentation, beyond what is available by the present RECX, and the upgrade may include: UiO node: Routine XRD; This is a necessary replacement of a workhorse instrument providing characterization data to large number of users. Multipurpose diffractometer: will open new science in areas where time resolved data, operando data, studies at non-ambient conditions is needed (catalysis, batteries, adsorbents, multiferroics etc), including data for nanoparticles and disordered materials where analysis based on total scattering/pdf is needed. Small angle-x-ray scattering upgrade: will open position the instrument at top level, nest to synchrotrons and become an important unit for life-science activities and more. NTNU node: The thin film diffractometer; this will expand tremendously the capacity to precisely determine crystal structure and texture/epitaxy of thin films and nanostructures (ferroelectric, mulitferroic, magnetic) and texture in alloys/metals. High-resolution diffractometer; necessary replacement for high resolution structural studies of a range of different materials and compounds. Routine XRD; this is a necessary replacement of a workhorse instrument providing daily access to quantities and qualitative analysis. RECX is complementary to the NORTEM (electron based), NcNeutron (neutron based) and MiMac (atom probe, micro probe) national infrastructures. It is furthermore important in the perspective of other platforms and infrastructures by providing essential data on the atomic arrangements of condensed matter in wide areas of research, from nanoscience, via energy technology to biological systems. The NICE and in particular NORFAB activities are important in this context kroner Nanoteknologi og avanserte materialer, Miljøvennlig energi Bioressurser, Bioteknologi, IKT, Medisin og helse, Petroleum

9 Prosjektnummer: Smart Grid Lab 2.0 SINTEF Energi as John Olav Tande NTNU The infrastructure consists of an upgrade and expansion of the present features of two existing infrastructures: - National SmartGrid Laboratory (NSGL) located in Trondheim and jointly operated by SINTEF Energi AS and NTNU. The infrastructure provides a flexible environment for testing electric systems at 400 V ac, 800 V dc and at around 100 kw with capabilities for real-time simulation and grid emulation. Several power electronic converter and electrical machines are available and directly pluggable. The laboratory includes also facilities for testing energy storage systems and smart-house technologies. - SINTEF Energy lab located in Trondheim and operated by SINTEF Energi AS. The laboratory building has a net floor area of 5,400 m2, and houses seven laboratories including a high-voltage laboratory designed to carry out testing at voltages up to 420 kv. SINTEF Energy Lab provides increased capacity and performance compared with other existing laboratories at SINTEF/NTNU and allows to conduct experiments at much higher rated voltage and power due to a direct access to a high-capacity substation. The infrastructure will enable research into smartgrid technologies, including interactions between power electronics and power systems, and interaction between communication systems and power system operation. Moreover, the infrastructure in combination with the already existing facilities at NSGL and SINTEF Energy lab can be used to do research and test components in a controlled environment for conditions that would be difficult or dangerous to replicate in a real power system at full scale. 41 mill NOK Miljøvennlig energi, e-infrastruktur/ikt

10 Prosjektnummer: Norwegian contribution to the European Multidisciplinary Seafloor and Water Column Observatory Universitetet i Bergen Ilker Fer HI, UiT, Uni, NPI, MET NorEMSO is a deep ocean observatory initiative to establish a Norwegian node for the European Multidisciplinary Seafloor and water column Observatory (EMSO, EMSO aims to explore the under-sampled oceans, to gain a better understanding of the critical role that oceans play in the broader Earth systems. The EMSO research consortium was established in September 2016, and is now a European research infrastructure consortium (ERIC). EMSO is a system of observatories distributed in the European seas that provide key data and constant monitoring of marine environments, in key areas across the Arctic Ocean, the Atlantic Ocean, the Mediterranean Sea and the Black Sea. Infrastructures are divided in 1) cabled infrastructures (installations which support instruments deployed on, below, and/or above the seabed, continuously acquiring oceanographic and geophysical time series) and 2) stand-alone observatories (autonomous installations of instruments, sensors and command modules operating in the long-term on and beneath the seafloor, in the water column and/or at the sea surface). NorEMSO will contribute to both types of infrastructures kroner Klima og miljø Havteknologi og maritim innovasjon / Maritim teknologi

11 Prosjektnummer: HydroPower NTNU Ole Gunnar Dahlhaug SINTEF Energi, NINA HydroCen Labs er infrastruktur som er knyttet til vannkraftindustrien i Norge og forskningssenteret for fornybar energi (FME), HydroCen, og er lokalisert i ved NTNUs campus i Trondheim. HydroCen har gjennom sine partnere et godt etablert nettverk med brukere til HydroCen labs. Infrastrukturen skal være tilgjengelig for student-oppgaver, anvendt- og grunnforskning med utgangspunkt i utfordringer som vannkraftindustrien har i dag og vil få i fremtiden. I de neste 7 årene vil infrastrukturen i stor grad benyttes av forskningsprosjekter i HydroCen. Behovet for denne infrastrukturen er knyttet til endringene i energisystemet som forventes i fremtiden. Introduksjon av mye vind- og sol-energi i kraftnettet vil kreve at vannkraftverk vil bli benyttet som energilagring, effekt regulering, grunnlast og som backup når vind- eller solkraftverkene ikke er i drift. Dersom eksisterende og nye vannkraftverk skal benyttes til denne type operasjon, kreves det større fleksibilitet fra vannkraftverk enn i dag, og dette krever at man har god forskningsinfrastruktur tilgjengelig i Norge for utvikling og testing av nye driftsmønstre. Kostnadene gjelder i hovedsak investeringer i infrastruktur og utstyr som vil være nødvendig for å drive forskning i disse laboratoriene i fremtiden. 196,2 mill NOK Miljøvennlig energi, Klima og miljø

18 Prosjektnummer: Norwegian Advanced Battery Laboratory Infrastructure (NABLA) INSTITUTT FOR ENERGITEKNIKK Hanne Flåten Andersen NTNU, SINTEF, UiO, FFI NABLA will provide tools for research along the entire battery value chain, including battery materials development, battery design and production and battery safety. The infrastructure will be distributed in virtual nodes among all the central players in battery R&D in Norway. The infrastructure will serve existing and future industry players. The infrastructure will complement already existing infrastructures on both sides of the values chain, i.e. advanced materials characterization laboratories, like NORTEM and RECX, as well as energy system laboratories, like the National Smart Grid laboratory, and laboratories established for marine propulsion. Regarding the former, the current equipment is not generally suitable for battery research, for example due to lack of possibilities for inert transfer of samples. The NABLA infrastructure will also complement the energy system infrastructures, as it will focus entirely on the batteries, down to cell and materials level, and can provide useful information on the optimized operation of the batteries. 58 mill NOK Miljøvennlig energi

19 Prosjektnummer: HighEFFLab Phase II SINTEF Energy Research Ingrid Camilla Claussen HighEFFLab Phase II is an extension of the previously granted HighEFFLab, whose purpose is to provide the advanced research facilities required to fulfil the goals of FME HighEFF1 - Centre for an Energy Efficient and Competitive Industry for the Future. In line with the first phase of HighEFFLab, the Phase II will be a joint national laboratory between the various departments at SINTEF and NTNU. The required extension for HighEFFLab is based on the demands that have arisen from the industry and the research groups at SINTEF and NTNU during the first two years of operation of FME HighEFF. In particular, not covered by the first phase, is the demand for more profound experimental research on thermal energy storage (TES). Phase II is a response to this demand, with two main RIs: 1.) Phase change material (PCM) laboratory for designing innovative and effective TES systems based on the utilization of PCMs. 2.) Smart thermal grid (STG) laboratory, for testing and demonstrating intelligent control strategies for thermal grids with multiple heat sources and thermal storage The RIs will be supported by necessary local infrastructure (heating, cooling, power) as well as an Instrument Calibration Laboratory, for ensuring the required accuracy of all the test equipment. 28 mill NOK Miljøvennlig energi

20 Prosjektnummer: GreenMAT-BOX Lab, from Green bag To green BOX Laboratory IFE Asuncion Aranda Romerike biogassanlegg RBA-EGE (Energigjenvinningsetaten, Oslo Kommune), Zeg Power AS The FME Bio4Fuels, IFE, Oslo Kommune (Romerike BiogassAnlegg, RBA) and Zeg Power AS have identified a collaborative opportunity for developing innovative biogas upgrading and conversion technologies towards bioenergy, biofuels and biochemicals applications. This will be possible by making semi-mobile R&D facilities; i.e., adapting and expanding IFE s research infrastructure and know-how to the feedstock and process demands of an industrial-scale biogas production plant (RBA), which processes household bio-waste ( grønn pose waste fraction). The Sorption Enhanced Reforming (SER) technology for the production of hydrogen with integrated CO2 separation has been developed at IFE during the last 17 years for natural gas reforming. The technology relies on integrated high temperature CO2 separation thanks to the addition of a selective solid CO2 sorbent material which allows combined reforming, water-gas shift and CO2 separation in one single step. Near to pure CO2 is released by regenerating the sorbent. Additionally, in the later years, the technology has been explored for reforming of biogas for production of hydrogen with integrated CO2 separation to broaden the application areas towards renewable feedstock, by proposing local, green, de-centralized solutions. In addition, use of biogas as feedstock in the SER process shows also the clear advantage of avoiding a costly biogas upgrading step. SER can also be applied to solid biomass feedstock, after a gasification step, as an efficient gas upgrading technology for production of valuable chemical intermediates and biofuels. This project will provide the adaption of Lab-to-prototype infrastructure necessary to develop the SER technology for its integration with the biogas production sites in Norway (in collaboration with RBA) with regard to: mobility for on-site industrial R&D and validation, feedstock, operating conditions, data acquisition and system control. These upgrades will contribute to the R&D needed to apply SER in the above-mentioned value chains, of interest for developing new biorefinery concepts, in line with circular economy principles Miljøvennlig energi Bioressurser

23 Prosjektnummer: CO2TRANS (CO2 transport infrastructure) IFE Rolf Nyborg IFE has currently a research infrastructure for pipeline and ship transport of dense phase CO2 consisting of two different laboratories: one for studies of multiphase flow of CO2 with impurities in flowlines and injection wells, and one for studies of corrosion in CO2 for pipeline and ship transport. This proposal represents a considerable upgrade of both these facilities. The proposal concerns a significant upgrade of IFE s existing CO2 loop to make it more unique, to close other gaps than it was designed for and currently addresses and enable easier access for external researchers to utilise the research infrastructure. The proposed upgrade will serve the need for broadening the operating range of the facility, and the need for improved and new instrumentation. IFE s DPI loop will be upgraded to cover a larger number of impurities, enable measurements at lower levels more accurately and to make the facility more user friendly for external users. A new mixing and sampling system and a new reactor vessel to be used for geochemical (core) experiments will be build and coupled/integrated to the DPI loop. 19 mill NOK Miljøvennlig energi CCS
