Reducing the carbon footprint of industry: CO2 capture, use and storage
CO2 capture, use and storage (CCUS) technology consists in capturing CO2 from its source of production, using it and storing it in an underground facility. It is of interest to industrial players since it would enable them to significantly reduce their CO2 emissions.

Climate, environment and circular economy
New R&I themes, stimulated by the energy transition and circular economy markets, are beginning to emerge. The multidisciplinarity of IFPEN’s researchers is used in projects covering fields as diverse as CO 2 capture/storage and plastics recycling, addressing the problems of industry. CO 2 capture, utilization and storage Plastics recycling Environmental
