Renewable energies

BIO-BASED CHEMISTRY OVERVIEW AND CHALLENGES The development of base material production processes for the chemicals sector using biomass addresses a triple objective: use renewable raw materials in order to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and tackle climate change, contribute to the development of a circular economy, reduce the chemical sector's

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

IFPEN’s cross-cutting positioning

Hydrogen Our networks IFPEN plays an active role in several French and European networks, including Clean Hydrogen Alliance , Hydrogen Europe , France Hydrogène ( AFHYPAC) and Evolen , and participates in numerous partnership projects and initiatives. IFPEN also contributes to efforts aimed at overcoming scientific challenges relating to the

IFPEN is developing economically sustainable technologies to integrate hydrogen into the energy mix. Natural hydrogen / Hydrogen production / Hydrogen transport and storage / Hydrogen conversion and use in mobility

Hydrogen OVERVIEW AND CHALLENGES Hydrogen is an energy vector that can act as a bridge between primary energy sources and end uses. It is considered to be an “energy transition vector” due to its potential to bring about a cleaner, more sustainable energy system across its entire value chain. Currently

Geothermal energy Our networks Collaboration with the BRGM IFPEN works in close partnership with teams from the BRGM (French Geological and Mining Research Bureau), capitalizing on synergies and complementary expertise. The partners work together within the framework of French and European collaborative projects, sometimes focusing on other themes such as

IFPEN’s research is aimed at overcoming the technical and economic challenges hampering the industrial development of geothermal energy.

Geothermal energy OVERVIEW AND CHALLENGES "Deep" geothermal energy, as opposed to surface geothermal energy, aims to harness the heat of the subsurface as a source of heating or electricity. These two objectives are achieved to varying degrees depending on the geographical area. Electricity generation The power required is such that
