News 29 April 2021

Corrosion, one of the major challenges of the energy transition, has been the focus of significant research at IFPEN

Corrosion attacks the equipment used by the energy industry, affecting installations used for CO2 capture and transport, hydrogen storage and transport, geothermal energy and biomass conversion processes, as well as oil and natural gas installations. In all these sectors, corrosion also adversely affects safety, the environment and process profitability.
