About the Industrial Transition Series

The Industrial Transition Series is a new webinar format arranged by the IETS TCP (Industrial Energy-Related Technologies and Systems Technology Collaboration Programme). The webinar series focusses on the exchange of knowledge between the stakeholders of industrial transition: researchers, manufacturers and adopters of new energy technologies for industry. Research projects from the network of IETS TCP member states will be presented and discussed. The projects discussed range from applied research in the laboratory and pilot plant scale to demonstration plants in the industrial application environment.
