Grants from Gasum Gas Fund for 2018 given out for research and development in the gas sector
Grants for 2018 totaling €40,800 were given out to seven researchers in Helsinki on June 5, 2018. Gasum supports research and development in the gas sector through the Gasum Gas Fund, which is one of the special funds run and administered by the Finnish Foundation for Technology Promotion (TES).
The objective of the Gasum Gas Fund is to support full-time research relating to education, research and development aiming to promote the gas ecosystem. Grants have been given out from the fund for researchers developing future solutions concerning, for example, the bioeconomy and circular economy, transport and logistics or energy solutions promoting the use of gas.
The aim is to support full-time research with full daily allowances. In addition, the Gas Fund seeks to provide long-term funding for research carried out by students. The Gasum Gas Fund is one of the special funds run and administered by the Finnish Foundation for Technology Promotion (TES).
“Gasum promotes development towards a carbon-neutral future together with its partners.
