CO₂ Properties and EoS for Pipeline Engineering

This meeting will bring together researchers and practitioners in the field of CO₂ properties and Equations of State relevant to the pipeline transportation of CO₂. The aim of the meeting will be to share information relating to both research needs in this area and the status of existing research projects, with a view to developing a more co-ordinated research effort within the UK CCS research community.

The format of the meeting will include:

• Invited presentations from industrial participants aimed at highlighting research needs
• Short (5 minute) presentations from researchers aimed at illuminating the topics and status of current research efforts
• Round-table discussions aimed at improved co-ordination of existing research and identification of opportunities for new research initiative and funding.

Convened by: Dr Richard Graham (University of Nottingham), Dr Julia Race (University of Strathclyde), Prof Martin Trusler (Imperial College London)
