07.11.2006On 19 and 26 October 2006 took place workshops within project Innovative Silesian Cluster of Clean Coal Technologies. Both meetings were held at the Silesian University of Technology at the Faculty of Energy and Environmental Engineering.
The main subject of the workshops was the discussion on the realization of the project so far, as well as setting the guidelines for the future actions. During the meeting Cluster’s internet portal and the structure of clean coal technologies database were also presented.
During the workshops papers were presented by:
The papers were in their major part devoted to the presentation of the projects for the EU’s 7th Frame Programme prepared by the Cluster’s members. The participants of the discussion were especially interested in the issues concerning obtaining and distribution of clean coal fuel for dispersed heat sources. Postulates of possible cooperation in this field between self-governments and coal fuels producers in Silesia were raised. The attention was also drawn to the need of carrying out an overall analysis of region’s power engineering needs and elaboration of optimal methods of their fulfilment.
In both workshop sessions took part 35 people.
