Our annual Gas Analysis Workshop 2017 will take place at KTH in Stockholm on Friday June 16th 2017. We are happy to have KTH as our host this year. The event will be supported by the swedish gasification center where academia and industry collaborate in the field of gasification. Furthermore we have the 20th anniversary of the introduction of the SPA method by Brage et al. So being in the place where this method was applied for sampling and analysis of tar we dedicate a program point to this issue. The program is in preparation and will be made available here as soon as the first consolidated draft is available.
