ENEA and the Italian section of the Combustion Institute, in association with the “CO2Club” and the Italian Committee of the IFRF have pleasure in announcing the international conference “PROCESSES AND TECHNOLOGIES FOR SUSTAINABLE ENERGY” (2nd S4FE) which will take place in Ischia, Italy.

The conference aims to favor the exchange between researcher involved in both combustion process and technologies development and those concerned with the research in the CCS field.  The main reason for pursuing such an objective relies in the consideration that a key role in the application of more climate compatible energy production strategies cannot avoid a strong and stable interaction between researchers active in combustion research and those involved in the development of Carbon Capture and Sequestration/Storage technologies.

Contributions are welcomed in the following topics:

• CO2 capture (pre-combustion, post-combustion, oxy-combustion)
• CO2 storage
• Diagnostics
• Energy issues
• Application of the EC Directive on CCS technologies
• Flames
• Heterogeneous Combustion
• IC Engines and Gas Turbine combustion
• Large scale CCS demonstration projects
• Pollution in combustion systems
• Reaction kinetics
• Safety issues
• Stationary combustion systems
• Thermal treatments

Further information and a call for papers can be found in the attached announcement.  Updates will be made available on the conference website: http://www.combustioninstitute.it/conf2010.htm.
