Abstract
The purpose of this symposium is to bring the key players and stakeholders of capsule pipelines together from around the world not only to share experiences and research findings, but also to plan the future of capsule pipelines, in order to accelerate commercial use of various types of capsule pipelines. The five specific objectives of this Symposium are: 1. Review state-of-the-art and recent developments in the field of capsule pipelines. 2. Share research findings among researchers. 3. Bring stakeholders together to plan for the future of capsule pipelines. 4. Bring attention to the capability of capsule pipelines as an environmentally friendly, new mode of freight transport for the future. 5. Organize a worldwide network (coalition) to promote and accelerate commercial use of capsule pipelines.
