• TOTeM 49: Chemical energy carriers for long-term storage and long-distance transport of renewable energies

Summary

This International Flame Research Foundation (IFRF) Topic Orientated Technical Meeting (TOTeM) was organized with the kind support of the French Committee of the IFRF and the LGRE / FST / Université de Haute Alsace.

The meeting discussed carbon-free energy carriers for long-term storage and long-distance transport of renewable energy (in short powdered metals and ammonia).
