11.12.2009 Soot sensors for a healthy environment (SootSens I) Nanosized soot particles are a serious health hazard in urban air. They can penetrate deep into the lungs and their fat solubility makes possible their accumulation in other organs such as the brain. Consequently, legislation continuously reduces allowable emission levels in diesel powered vehicles. The SootSens project has developed a new sensor based on thermophoresis that enhances soot deposition of submicron particles in diesel exhaust.		15.02.2008 Clean Nordic and Baltic sky - Feasibility study Demand for air travel is growing rapidly. Shortfalls in capacity and other constraints on the efficiency of airports and aircraft operations have negatively impacted the environment. The need to enhance efficiency without increase in emissions, within finite airspace and airport resources while still ensuring high levels of safety, has grown considerably. This feasibility study is the first initiative for co-operation between air navigation service providers (ANSP), airports, airline companies and industry.
11.02.2008 Nice Travel RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) and Biometric Solutions will during the next 5-years enable substantial improvements to the logistic, the security and the passenger processes at the airports. The project "Nice Travel" has focused on the opportunities and challenges facing airports, airlines and service providers with regard to the new Auto-ID-technologies.		26.01.2004 Stora vinster på att öka beständigheten hos asfaltbelägningar Det finns stora vinster att hämta på att öka beständigheten hos asfaltbeläggningar. Om man lyckas öka livslängden på beläggningarna i Norden med en procent (försiktig uppskattning) leder detta till en besparing för samhället på 80 miljoner kronor per år!

Nordic platforms for better trade in services The Nordic Innovation Centre has taken the initiative to the project "Nordic platforms for better trade in services". The main objectives of the project are to contribute to well-functioning Nordic and European markets for services by ensuring “tradeable” services of high quality, to avoid fragmented service markets, to ensure SMEs involvement and promote innovations. > Les mer		MARINORD Who wants algae, animals and micro-organisms to “decorate” the hull of ones boat? Not the owners of recreation boats and not the large shipping companies, because it costs money! But all these actors are environmentally conscious and want to use anti-fouling paints that reduce fouling without destroying marine environment. The MARINORD project will develop such anti-fouling paints containing nano-particles filled with active substances. > Les mer
Biofuels standards project - info, ash classification, fuel storage guide It is becoming more and more important to secure the supply of energy for Europe and solid biofuels has a very important role in this. One objective of the proposed project is to expand the solid biofuel consumption in the Baltic Sea Area by promoting the use of solid biofuels standards and to improve quality of biofuels. > Les mer
