COST Action TU0802: NeCoE-PCM
• This Action objective is to foster and accelerate
long-term advancement of renewable energy
systems and phase change materials research in
Europe through design, development,
characterisation and simulation of new generation
modified hybrid phase change materials for use in
energy storage for heating, cooling and renewable
energy applications
• Secondary objectives:
–
