2016, March – Working Meeting at SINTEF ER in Trondheim
On March 7 and 8, 2016, Dr. Jan Hrubý and Dr. Václav Vinš visited SINTEF ER in Trondheim in order to discuss current state of the research activities of the CCSphase project both at IT CAS and SINTEF ER. Several informal meetings of the project team members including also other researchers from SINTEF ER dealing with the development of CCS technologies together with visits at local laboratories were organized. In addition, team members from IT CAS together with Dr. Jana P. Jakobsen visited laboratories of the Department of Chemical Engineering at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) in Trondheim related to research in the CCS field.
