Thesis research conducted at IFPEN [1] developed tools that can be used to describe biogenic carbon flows on the basis of dynamic models rather than conventional static models.
IFPEN has just conducted a study on behalf of the AFG (French Gas Association) and the AFGNV (French NGV Association) in order to compare the impact on global warming of vehicles running on NGV (natural gas for vehicles) and bioNGV to that of diesel, gasoline and electric vehicles using the LCA methodology.
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

Life cycle analysis (LCA) OVERVIEW AND CHALLENGES Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) is an assessment method aimed at quantifying the environmental impacts of a product or a service, as part of an eco-design
Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is an environmental impact assessment tool that is generally static, linear and limited to the description of physical flows when the aim is to assess the impacts
