On November 18, 2020, as part of the Carnot Meetings, Violaine Lamoureux-Var was awarded the 2020 FIEEC Carnot Prize for Applied Research. This award distinguishes work carried out in collaboration with a SME, with a real impact on revenue growth and job creation.
The FIEEC Carnot Prize honors the Carnot IFPEN Ressources Energétiques for its collaboration with the SME Vinci Technologies in the development of a geochemical analysis tool for rock samples: the Rock-Eval® 7S. The partnership focused on the development of new analysis and interpretation methods, as well as the validation of the equipment. Rock-Eval® 7S provides data for understanding petroleum systems and assessing soil quality, such as fertility or their role in climate regulation.
