Optimization of hydrogen production infrastructures

There are numerous methods of producing hydrogen and some of them can contribute to mitigating climate change. To support the development of this sector, IFPEN joined forces with the Energy Planning Research Center of the Federal University of Rio (UFRJ/COPPE) to develop an economic optimization model for hydrogen production, either by water electrolysis or by steam methane reforming, and with or without carbon capture.

All about hydrogen
To achieve the objectives of the energy transition, France has turned its attention to the production and use of low-carbon and renewable hydrogen. Mainly used until now in the chemicals and refining sectors, this energy vector may be useful to contribute to the decarbonization of some industrial sectors, for electricity storage or as a fuel in the transport sector.

Renewable energies
The energy transition and tackling climate change depend on the development of new renewable resources. IFPEN proposes processes for the production of fuels, bases for the chemicals sector and gas from biomass. IFPEN also uses its expertise acquired in the field of oil and gas to offer solutions for the
