2 1 Agenda It was noted that due to too few ordinary members, the board was not able to make formal decision. The distributed agenda was approved with the following addition: - Item 8.3. Evaluation of programme and Synthesis report 2 Person to approve minutes SAJ, Dong, was elected to approve minutes (next present person/company on participants list). 3 Minutes from board meeting 1/16 The minutes from board meeting 1/16 was approved without comments. 4 Notifications 4.1 Changes in board Søren Aakjær Jensen replaces Hans Poulsen at the Dong seat in board. Hans has has left Dong and is now working at B&W Vølund. Peter Emvin will replace Joel Andersson at the GKN seat in board. Joel will be on leave of absence from GKN and he is now working full time at Högskolan väst, where he is responsible for a welding group. He will continue as supervisor in the KME projects at Chalmers. Staffan Söderberg has retired and he will be replaced by Rikard Norling as co-opted member of board from Swerea KIMAB. 4.2 Coming dissertations and conferences At the new web site, coming dissertations and conferences will be posted. The board members are recommended to send information to BW. Recently defended dissertations: Hamed Hooshyar, 18 March, 2016, HTC, Chalmers Upcoming dissertations Ragna Elger, 3 June, KTH. Partly active within KME-715 from current programme period and KME-407 from an earlier programme period. Upcoming conferences: Impacts of Fuel Quality on Power Production, September 19-23, 2016 in Prague, Czech Republic, 7th Swedish Production Symposium, October 25-27, 2016, Lund, Sweden, 5 Follow up of project BW informed regarding status for the projects: - KME-714, Sulfur recirculation and improved material selection for high temperature corrosion abatement. The updated project plan

3 for the project was approved by SEA. After last board meeting a question was sent to the board if MEC Bioheat could be a project participant and contribute to the project with ksek 300 as in-kind if they sign a confidentiality agreement. The suggestion was approved by board. The agreement is distributed to project partners for signing. MEC Bioheat, Götaverken and DONG signatures are still missing. - KME-715, Composite Metal Polymer (CMP) for non-stick improvements in CHP plants. As discussed at previous meeting, it was reported that project has problems regarding installation of samples in Dong s plant Avedøre. The situation is not yet solved, however a way forward and a plan for installation has been discussed between the project participants. - KME-718, High temperature corrosion in used-wood fired boilers the effect of fuel additives and a new coating material, part II of KME-708. The agreement is distributed to project partners for signing. Sandvik HT has not yet signed the agreement. 6 Economy 6.1 Budget BW informed that the Swedish Energy Agency will not make their remaining 567 ksek available for research. The question to board regarding projects, resulted in one new project proposal from LIU/Siemens that deals with Additive manufacturing. The project was then sent to SEA, but it did not change the SEA decision. Instead, their suggestion is to use the remaining funds for a synthesis report and/or other similar purposes, however not yet defined. Comments from board: - BW was asked to elaborate concrete proposals about alternative use of funds and present to SEA, according to discussion at previous meetings: o o Synthesis report. Researchers workshop Budget in appendix Industry financing - status The outstanding industry financing will not be used, as no matching funds from SEA will be available (127 ksek as cash from Fortum and 440 ksek as in-kind will not be used). Industry contribution in appendix 2. 7 The future of KME BW informed that the SEA has elaborated a plan and portfolio strategy for research programmes in the thermal and biofuel area, including materials technology. Energiforsk has not been invited to participate in the elaboration of the strategy. On June 2, SEA will present the strategy for Energiforsk. Very little has been communicated officially, the following is however known: SEA suggests that the below five programmes should cease to exist:

4 - KME - SEBRA/Värmeforsk - Turbokraft (research about rotating turbomachines) - Fjärrsyn (research about district heating) - Biofuel programme (an own SEA internal programme for small scale biofuel utilisation.) Instead, the above programmes should be split, and research areas rearranged and merged into three new and own internal SEA programmes: - Technology for steam based processes, including various research areas as fuel preparation, combustion technology, boiler technology, materials technology, flue gas cleaning and district heating technology. Both short and long term implementation of research, 0-10 years, and small and large scale systems. The materials technology research for steam processes from KME will be merged into one programme together with parts of SEBRA, Fjärrsyn and the Biofuel programme. - Technology for thermal turbomachinery, including all kind of research related to rotating turbines, gas and steam turbines, aero engines, CSP-steam turbines and small scale turbines. Turbokraft and other programmes and materials research for turbines from KME. The materials research for turbines from KME will be merged into one programme together with Turbokraft and parts of Biofuel programme and possibly parts from other programmes. - Biopower and district heating in the energy system, a system oriended programme including the role of biopower, combined processes, system aspects, CHP-power and heat, etc. Thus, the consequence for KME is that the programme will be splitted into two separate programmes, and the materials research merged into two broad programmes including several different research topics. A preliminary future group was appointed, with the following members as a start: one representative from Sandvik Heating Technology (or Sandvik Materials Technology), one representative from one of the utility companies Vattenfall/Fortum/Eon, Helena Oskarsson Siemens, Erik Skog and Bertil Wahlund. Sandvik respective Vattenfall/Fortum/Eon was asked to discuss and present their respective member. The task for the future group is to plan for a new programme period. One important issue will be to discuss with SEA regarding their planned strategy. The chairperson of KME board was discussed, and the boards wish was that ES remains as chairperson throughout the current programme period and until a new programme period is started. The future group was delegated to discuss the succession of a new chairperson. HTC has formed a future group and it was recommended that the KME future group coordinates the work with the HTC s future group. HTC future group consists of the following members: Bo Jönsson Sandvik HT (chairperson), Bengt-Åke Andersson Eon, and Jan-Erik Svensson and Lars-Gunnar Johansson Chalmers.

5 BW invites the board or future group after the Energiforsk meeting with SEA and when more is known. The portfolio strategy discussed above was confirmed by SEA at the SEA-Energiforsk meeting on June 2. 8 Others 8.1 Programme conference HTC/KME 2016 Comments and feedback: - Nice environment and nice to be in central Lund. - Study visit interesting and well organised. - Important to allocate sufficient time for the poster session, at least two hours, which was done. - It was quite few posters this time. BW should emphasise the importance of posters to next conference. Each project should bring at least one poster. - Some researchers presented the project and results in a pedagogic and interesting way. It is important to emphasise to researchers that the presentation should be aimed at an audience not experts in the specific area. Furthermore, results should be put into an user perspective. - Suggestion that best oral presentation should be awarded a prize at next conference. BW was asked to discuss with LG and find a solution. 8.2 KME web The KME web pages is up, and will be further developed with more information and a log in. The board preferred the web page is used for file sharing. It implies that the file sharing alternative Filr, discussed at last meeting, will not be used. The invitations to meetings should, besides be posted on the web, also be distributed via mail. 8.3 Evaluation and synthesis BW informed that SEA most probably will make their own evaluation of the programme, but it is not decided. The evaluation of KME/Materials technology programme, will be separate from the evaluation of HTC. Synthesis report discussed under item 6.1 above. 9 Next meetings Telephone meeting, October 4, Physical meeting, December 7, 13-15, Gothenburg at Chalmers 2017 meetings and conference: Telephone meeting in February/March Physical meeting in May/June Telephone meeting in September/October

6 Physical meeting in November/December KME/HTC programme conference 2017, March, tentatively in Gothenburg The meeting was combined with an appreciated lab visits and presentation of research activities at division of Engineering Materials, Linköping University.
