Workshops
Two workshops were held on the technical aspects and the policy
and environmental implications of CO2 capture and storage, hydrogen
and fuel cell technologies.
1. The technical aspects of CO2 capture & storage, hydrogen & fuel cells
23 - 24 September 2003,
Brussels
- The workshop covered each technology, informed
attendees about the technologies, and established a bridge from
technical to policy considerations by generating issues for further
consideration and indicating directions for policy research
