Why research is needed ?

• Minimize energy requirements for CO2 capture
• Improve the efficiency of energy conversion
  processes
• Reduce costs consumption of primary energy
  sources
• Develop advanced, innovative concepts for
• next-generation technology implementation

Meeting feedback

• Research and development is a long-term
  commitment
• Bringing an idea from project to
  commercialization takes 10-30 years
