Workshop Presentations Available

Joint Workshop with ETSAP 7 October 2026:

Industrial Decarbonization through bioenergy and CO2 capture and storage

The workshop is part of a series that intends to foster dialogue between modelers and technologists with respect to specific industrial decarbonization technologies and themes. This will provide modelers with an opportunity to review their modelling assumptions for the industrial sector, and technologists with an opportunity to better grasp the context affecting the evolving attractiveness of specific industrial decarbonization technologies.
