Etablering av NTNUs senter Green2050: Grønt skifte i bygget miljø (2021) ( 38 stipendiater og postdocer i løpe av 2021-2023)

Senter for Grønt skifte i bygget miljø ved NTNU, Green2050, ble offisielt åpnet den 11. februar 2022. Året 2021 ble benyttet til å etablere grunnlaget for en slik senteretablering. Det ble gjennomført en lang rekke seminarer og møter, internt på NTNU med deltakelse fra de fleste fakulteter og med eksterne aktører fra næringsliv og forvaltning. Dette dokumentet oppsummerer forslag fra prosessen og utgjør sentrets strategi for fag/marked samt mekanismer i senteret for å styrke realiseringen av disse. Strategiene er valgt ut fra målet om å bidra til å oppfylle de nasjonale mål om å utvikle et karbonnøytralt Norge i 2050 og med 50-55% reduksjon av CO2-utslipp i 2030. NTNUs bidrag er gjennom et flerfaglig samspill å utvikle ny kunnskap og utdanne kandidater for å møte behov og initiere ny virksomhet i næringsliv og forvaltning. En slik tilnærming vil bidra til å oppfylle NTNUs samfunnsoppdrag og oppfylle visjonen om «Kunnskap for en bedre Verden». Pr dato senteret har 40 stipendiater finansiert av NTNU og eksterne partnere. Green2050 er strategisk satsingsområde for fakultet for ingeniørvitenskap i periode 2023-2026.

Utviklingsprosjekt (2022-2024): Utvikling av kunnskapsgrunnlaget Karbonnøytral og bærekraftig vegsektor i Norge i 2050 finansiert av Statens vegvesen (budsjett 4,5 MNOK)

Statens vegvesen og Green2050 v/NTNU ønsker å gjennomføre to workshops for å identifisere tiltak som danner basis for en bærekraftig og karbonnøytral vegsektor. Workshop 1 vil adressere planene Statens vegvesen har for å redusere sine utslipp med 50% innen 2030. NTNU inviteres til å bidra til utviklingen av metodikk, ny kunnskap og kandidater som kan føre til realisering av dette målet. De 2 workshops vil være starten på et forprosjekt som har som hensikt å utvikle et veikart med tiltak og innfasing av disse. Veikartet skal beskrive tiltakene, identifisere kunnskapshull og metodikk for gjennomføring av tiltakene. Veikartet vil være resultatet av forprosjektet som også beskriver et hovedprosjekt som skal bringe fram kunnskapsgrunnlag for gjennomføring av tiltakene. Workshop, forprosjekt og hovedprosjekt vil forutsette et tett samspill mellom fagpersoner i Statens vegvesen, vitenskapelige ansatte på NTNU og studenter fra de aktuelle deltakende fagmiljøer. Det vil bli gjennomført workshops, seminarer og møter, fysiske og digitale for gjennomføring av delaktiviteter.

INTPART LifeLong 2020-2024 finansiert av Norges forskningsråd (budsjett 4,5 MNOK)

LifeLong prosjekt er finansiert av Norges forskningsråd gjennom INTPART programmet. Prosjektet gjennomføres i et samarbeid med to topp universiteter i Hongkong dvs HKUST og HKU. Lifelong er organisert i fem store arbeidspakker; Administrasjonsskanning på tvers av horisonter, studenters mobilitet; Forskermobilitet; Kapasitetsbygging, Personalmobilitet. Prosjektet arrangeres av NTNU Institutt for bygg- og miljøteknikk i Trondheim. Tre prosjektledere (PI) fra respektive institutter er professor Charles W. W. Ng (HKUST) og førsteamanuensis Clarence Choi (HKU), og professor Steinar Nordal (NTNU). De involverte personene er verdensledende forskere, og ledere av deres representative grupper. I tillegg er professor Charles W. W. Ng leder for kompetansesenter for skråningsstabilitet ved HKUST. Sammen skal de ha med seg et team av studenter og forskere inn i prosjektet. Støttebrev fra partnerne er vedlagt den elektroniske søknaden. Prosjektet er et omfattende utdannings- og opplæringsprogram for å knytte banebrytende, innovativ, høyteknologisk forskning med konkrete eksempler fra den naturlige verden til en student eller forsker i trening. Dette vil inspirere studenter og oppmuntre dem til å lære om jorden, jord, kunstige materialer og hvordan man designer bærekraftige ingeniørprosjekter på skredutsatte områder. Prosjektene oppsøkende programmer er utformet for å fange en mangfoldig gruppe studenter og ingeniører og vil fremme interesse for gjensidig avhengighet.                                                                                       

Flexible learning in geotechnical engineering (FLIGG II – 2018-2020) – Finansiert av Direktoratet for kvalitet I utdanning (DiKU) (budsjett 6 MNOK)

Fleksibel læring i grunnleggende geoteknikk (FLIGG) er gjennomført i periodene mellom 2015-2016 og 2018-2020. Prosjektet er delfinansiert at Norgesuniversitet, nå DiKU.  Dette prosjektet var en nasjonal faglig satsing for fleksibel læring i grunnleggende geoteknikk.

Arbeidet var ledet av NTNU og ble gjennomført i et samarbeid med: Høgskolene i Bergen, Østfold, Sør-Trøndelag (nå NTNU), Norges miljø- og biovitenskapelige universitet, Multiconsult, Norges vassdrags- og energidirektorat (NVE), Jernbanedirektoratet, BaneNor, Statens vegvesen, Næringslivsringen, Norsk geoteknisk forening, Norconsult, og Norges geotekniske institutt. Dette prosjektet involverte hver eneste kvalifiserte faglærer i geoteknikk i Norge som har mastergrad eller doktorgrad i geoteknikk. IKT-støttet læremateriell produsert gjennom arbeidet er allmennttilgjengelig. FLIGG har vært en stor suksess og ført til etterspørsel (fra høgskoler, kommuner, bedrifter) av produserte digitale læringsressurser. Dette prosjektet har vært banebrytende på mange måter fordi byggebransjen er sært ortodoks når det gjelder utdanning og opplæring. Men, gjennom FLIGG-prosjektet er fordelene med fleksibel læring i geoteknikk blitt synliggjort. FLIGG har vært et pilotforsøk for prosjektpartnerne og samarbeidet har stimulert til økt samhandling mellom bygg- og anleggsnæringen og høyere utdanningsinstitusjoner.

Gas Migration in the weakness zones in soft seabed sediments, Statoil [Role: Project member) Budget (geotechnical investigations): 6 Million Norwegian kroners ]

Sedimenter på havbunnen inneholder både store og små mengder gass. I et bløtt sediment på havbunnen kan man se bevis på denne gassen som "pockmarks", som mest sannsynlig er arr fra gass som vandrer oppover og gjennom havbunnen, enten ved plutselige utslipp av fri gass eller som følge av langsomme, jevne gassoppsig. Fri gass i sedimenter på havbunnen kan føre til problemer ved boring av oljebrønner, og kan til og med føre til grunne utblåsninger. I noen tilfeller kan dette medføre stabilitetsproblemer for plattformen brønnen bores fra. Vikas Thakur utviklet en konseptuell modell som beskriver alle mulige mekanismer som kan forårsake migrasjon av gasser fra havbunnssedimenter. Den konseptuelle modellen ble validert ved hjelp av eksperimentell og storskala testing.

Designing a new type of flood barrier: The Norwegian Research Council (2008) [Role: Project Manager) Budget: 0.2 Million Norwegian kroners]

En innovativ flombeskyttelsesteknikk ble utviklet og kalt Flobar. Flobar er væskefylte fleksible rør for å beskytte infrastruktur som hus, eiendommer eller det tørre landet mot flom. Småskala laboratorietester ble utført for å simulere flomsituasjoner og for å undersøke gjennomførbarheten av Flobar-konseptet. Den eksperimentelle delen suppleres med teoretiske og numeriske studier. Konseptet har et stort potensial for å utvikle kommersielle produkter.

GISSAC Project Norwegian Research Council [Role: Project member) Budget (geotechnical investigations): 5 Million Norwegian kroners, financed by the Research council of Norway  and the Norwegian-French Foundation]

Byggingen i den arktiske regionen innebærer spesielle utfordringer knyttet til temperaturregime og klimatiske forhold, i tillegg til de store kreftene som kan genereres av isbevegelser. Tilgangen på egnet fyllmasse er lav, noe som gjør det komplisert og dyrt å bygge veier og havner mv. Ofte, som på Svalbard, gir den lokale geologien ikke grus eller pukk av høy kvalitet, og på de stedene der det er tilgjengelig, hindrer miljøhensyn beskatning. GISSAC-prosjektet ble initiert som et svar på hvordan man kan bygge miljøvennlige jordstrukturer i Arktis ved å bruke lokalt tilgjengelige geologiske materialer sammen med geosyntetikk. Prosjektpartnerne arrangerte en workshop i Longårbyen høsten 2004 for å se på aktuelle erfaringer og mulige anvendelsesområder for forskning og utvikling. Resultatet av en litteraturstudie utført av SINTEF og utHøstet av seminaret presenteres i en SINTEF-rapport. På bakgrunn av seminaret ble det satt i gang en pilotstudie for å studere oppførselen til en geotekstilpose fylt med lokalt materiale i Longårbyen (Svalbard). Pilotstudien ble utført av Store Norske Spitsbergen Grubekompani (SNSG) med oppfølging fra SINTEF/NTNU/UNIS/TENCATE/LRPC. Resultatet av denne studien presenteres i en UNIS-rapport. Studien av oppførselen til geosyntetiske poser for erosjonskontroll ble teoretisk studert, og deretter utførte en doktorgradsstudent et feltforsøk ved å bygge en testmolo beskyttet med 150 poser i Svea i Longårbyen. Fangstenes oppførsel, iskrefter, bølgevirkning og klimapåvirkning er overvåket og evaluert grundig, og resultatene kan studeres i en avhandling fra UNIS og i en SINTEF-rapport.

BILAT-India Environmentally Friendly Strategies for Waste Management in India utilizing cement and concrete technology. (2008-2011) finansiert av Norges Forskningsråd. Budsjett 10 MNOK

Dette industriorienterte-bilaterale prosjektet (10 millioner norske kroner) mellom India og Norge har som mål å bidra til ytterligere å øke utnyttelsen av mineraler i indisk sement- og betongindustri på en miljømessig og vitenskapelig forsvarlig måte for å sikre bærekraftig energi- og ressursforvaltning. Prosjektet vil fremme state of the art når det gjelder blandet sement og betongteknologi, samt gi praktiske løsninger og retningslinjer. Det vil bli lagt vekt på synergier oppnådd ved bruk av ternære bindemiddelsystemer i betongblandinger, samt bruk av hensiktsmessige tilsetningsstoffer for å integrere visse av materialer på høyere nivåer enn dagens praksis. Videre vil fokus også være på internasjonalisering av forskning på institusjonelt og industrielt nivå for å opprettholde kompetanse og beredskap for teknologier for å praktisere og fremme bærekraftig fremtidig vekst. Formålet er å bruke erfaringene fra de indiske partnerne i nært samarbeid med norske partnere for å dra nytte av økt bruk av mineral avhøst. SINTEF Byggforsk skal lede prosjektet i samarbeid med de indiske partnerne; NEERI (National Environmental Engineering Research Institute), NCB (National Council for Cement and Building Materials), og de tre norske industripartnerne; Borregaard LignoTech, Elkem as Materials og Norcem AS. Dette prosjektet vil også bidra i kunnskapsbygging i klima- og miljøsektoren for å oppmuntre til bærekraftig utvikling i økonomisk voksende utviklingsland som India ved å bringe industri og institusjon under BILAT-programmet.
