9. Three parallel sessions planned ABC Scientific: Ground storage Scientific: PCM/Chem Applications: Ground/PCM/Chem To encourage more focus on applications and market, the idea is to collect scentific/research topics in two parallel sessions divided in ground and PCM/Chemical technology, and a third session with presentations on applications and market. It is possible to divide into these categories already during the call for abstracts.
