He has a long experience as a project manager and has led central activities in several national and international R&D projects. Bellmann, who holds a PhD-degree in Metallurgy of Nonferrous Metals and High-Pure Materials, is the project coordinator. Furthermore, SINTEF will support industrial activities in WP2-WP with R&D, contribute to exploitation in WP6 and disseminate in WP7. SINTEF will take part in different technical WP’s, including WP1 and WP5 as WP leader on waste inventory and flow-sheeting, and product prototype demonstration, respectively. In addition, SINTEF will bring to the project the know-how on silicon crystallisation of mono-Si and mc-Si, wafer sawing, material refining and processing techniques, synthesis and characterization of batteries and electrical cells. Within the ICARUS project, SINTEF Industry will be the project coordinator. SINTEF has a close collaboration with the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) in Trondheim and the University of Oslo (UiO).

The profits of our contract research projects are invested in new research, scientific equipment and competence development. The contract research covers all scientific and technical areas, and ranges from fundamental research through applied research to commercialization of results into new products.

SINTEF is an independent, non-commercial organisation. Our aim is to become the most renowned contract research institution in Europe. SINTEF is a broadly based, multidisciplinary research foundation that possesses international top-level expertise in technology, medicine and the social sciences.
