25th of June, 2014 (9:00-17:00)
in Gleisdorf, Austria

Invitation and Registration

The EFCE Working Party on Process Intensification and the IEA Task 49/IV (http://task49.iea-shc.org) cordially invite you to a common workshop to exchange views on the effect of intensifed processes on industrial energy supply. The workshop will be organised in the framework of “Gleisdorf Solar 2014”, an international conference on solar heating and cooling.

The workshop aims at bringing together experts working in process intensification to exchange views and respective studies on the questions:

• 

Will intensifed processes change the landscape of industrial energy requirements?

• 

To which extent can these changes be expected within the near (2020) and longer-term   future (2050)?

Which effect on renewable energy integration can be expected?
