A kick-off meeting for a China-Japan Joint Laboratory for Supercritical Energy and Environmental Technology was recently held in Beijing. The laboratory is a joint project between the CAS Institute of Engineering Thermophysics and Tohoku University in Japan. The laboratory will do research in areas such as heat and mass transfer, and efficient energy conversion and utilization. Going forward, the Sino-Japanese Joint Laboratory will continue its collaboration in areas such as precision optical testing of heat and mass transfer in thermal fluids, efficient supercritical CO2 energy cycles and energy storage/conversion, and supercritical CO2 remediation, striving to establish a benchmark for collaboration with international influence.
