Compendium of project's newsletters

A project newsletter in electronic format will be published every 10 months It will be used for announcing events informing about the projects progress and for stimulating the collaboration and discussion between the academic and industrial partners

Report optimum power sizes industrial scale plants

A report which identifies the best operation configuration and the optimum size of such kind of plants Economical parameters will be compared to technical parameters and the parameter variation will lead to the optimum power size modelling

Websites, patent fillings, videos etc. (2)

Heat-to-Fuel videos

HeattoFuel videos consist of approximately 2minutes presentation enriched with infographics and animations describing the project objectives and expected impacts as well as promoting main project outcomes The videos are be published on the website and popular video platforms

Secured collaborative internet platform

GET will establish access to the project related IT-infrastructure, which has been developed and established during the past years by GET. Project management is conducted via Redmine, an Open Source Project Management Software, which has been adapted by GET to meet the needs of such high level EU projects.
