In addition to lectures and workshops, participants visited pilot CCS installations at the facilities of the Institute of Fuel and Energy Technology in Zabrze and Tauron Polska Energia S.A.
Among the participants in the poster session were those involved in the work on the EnerGizerS project. Paweł Gladysz and Magdalena Strojny, who presented the results of research and analysis carried out in the area of CCUS technology including EGS installations. In turn, Maciej Szymanek presented his experience from experimental work at the SINTEF Energy Research unit (Norway, Trondheim) on the properties of the CO2-water mixture within the Work Package 3 of the EnerGizerS project.
