Microeconomics and econometrics

Price, cycle and rarity on the raw materials markets: from oil to energy transition materials. A historical, economic and geopolitical perspective The scope of this work covered fifteen years of research at IFPEN on raw materials and market prices formation mechanisms, with a specific focus on the short-, medium- and long-term dynamics

At a time when the European Union is targeting carbon neutrality by 2050 (i.e., net zero greenhouse gas emissions), global CO2 emissions from the transport sector, which represent a quarter of the total, are continuing to increase. To overcome this and address the climate emergency, technological improvements and carbon taxes do not appear to be enough. There also needs to be a change in behavior...

The period 2012-2020, during which IFP School hosted the teaching and research Chair dedicated to this theme was also a period of fundamental change in terms of economic analysis of the environment and energy, with an increased interest in issues related to sustainable development.

In 2016, IFP School joined forces with Mines ParisTech, Toulouse School of Economics and Paris Dauphine-PSL University to launch an original scientific initiative: the ”Economics of Natural Gas” Chair. The creation of this Chair resulted from a series of observations concerning the scientific and societal relevance of questions related to gas (particularly in the context of the energy transition and the rapid development of new technologies) and the opportunities offered by the complementary nature of the expertise present.

The national energy transition will largely depend on changes in household energy consumption. In 2015, the residential sector alone was responsible for 30% of final energy consumption and 25% of CO 2

The widespread adoption of CO 2 capture and storage (CCS), a key factor in combating climate change, requires the joint adoption of these technologies by independent players: emitters, transporters

In order to combat climate change, numerous countries introduced policies promoting the use of 1 st-generation biofuels, generating a 7-fold increase in their production between 2000 and 2014. In

Selected as part of the European ERANET-Electromobility+ program a and coordinated by IFPEN, the SCelecTRA (1) project was aimed at assessing the potential and conditions for the development of
