QM CCS minisymposium
QM CCS minisymposium

A student initiative became an international event!

35 participants from four countries attended our minisymposium. We had presentations from two teams of Queen Mary students, and two presentations by Hans Sonke from Shell and Jamie Hopkins from RWE, responsible for some of the largest CCS projects in Europe. We had 30-minute power cut, and 30 minute of discussions after the event.

A big thank you to:

  • RWE and Shell - for their kind interest in the work of our Queen Mary chemical engineering students
  • Rhe two courageous student teams - Gas Girlies and KJW Cement (the minisymposium was their initiative, and these were their first presentations ever - of excellent quality)
  • Saeid who provided us with internet during the power cut
  • All guests who attended the event
