More about the event

In addition to hydrogen, powdered metals and ammonia have attracted the interest of the scientific and industrial communities as carbon-free energy carriers, due to the possibility of long-term storage and long-distance transport.

Instruction for authors

The objective of this IFRF TOTeM is to address the following questions:

• How can carbon-free energy carriers be used safely and efficiently in process industries using direct flame applications: power plant, gas turbines, process industry, cement, glass, steel etc
• What are the advantages and disadvantages of metal powder and ammonia in terms of technical and economic balance compared to hydrogen, even if they are all complementary?
• What are the ecosystem, infrastructure and logistics already in place or to be developed?

Researchers, engineers, PhD students from industry and universities are encouraged to present their work in progress on any of these questions.
