February 2022—JIP Meeting and Tour of STEP Demo
In February 2022, the STEP Demo team hosted a Joint Industry Program (JIP) meeting in conjunction with the 7th International Supercritical CO2 Power Cycles Symposium in San Antonio, Texas.
Several of our global industry partners were able to attend the meeting in person. Representatives from Engie, a French multinational electric and gas company, and The Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT), had the opportunity to tour the STEP Demo facility.
