The programme is now available for TOTeM 41 “Optimisation of OXY/COAL/RFG systems” which is being organised in Warsaw on 10th and 11th June for the FP7 EU funded RELCOM project.

TOTeM 41 will be chaired by Prof. Wojciech Nowak of Czestochowa University of Technology, and will feature a mix of keynote and invited speakers as well as a poster session. Delegates will also be exposed to representatives from the project “Oxy-combustion technology for PC and FBC boilers with CO2 capture”, financed with a 25 million dollar grant from the National Center for Research & Development in Poland as part of the Advanced Technologies for Energy Generation programme.

The three keynote speakers at the event include Gerry Hesselmann (Doosan Babcock) who will address the topic “Progress in oxy-fuel combustion”, and Toby Lockwood of IEA – Clean Coal Centre, with “The international status of oxy-coal combustion for CCS”.  A speaker from the Polish Ministry of Economy will explore the sociopolitical issues around CCS.

As would be expected from an IFRF TOTeM, there will be ample opportunities for panel discussion around the related research and development requirements. A tour to the IEn Laboratories is also included.

The Programme, a Registration form and a Second Announcement appear on the IFRF Events Calendar.

IFRF is a partner in RELCOM – “Reliable and Efficient Combustion of Oxygen/Coal/Recycled Flue Gas Mixtures” and this is the second TOTeM to be organized during the four year life of the project. The meetings provide an opportunity for project partners to disseminate their findings outside of the partner consortium.
