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

Hydrogen Our strengths Focused on new energy technologies and sustainable mobility, IFPEN’s R&I activities are aimed at developing competitive and sustainable technologies. IFPEN can support the development of the industrial hydrogen sector by contributing its expertise, with multidisciplinary teams and an international dimension (European projects, JIPs, partnerships). 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 deployment of decarbonized hydrogen

Hydrogen Our solutions Natural hydrogen Hydrogen production Hydrogen transport and storage Hydrogen conversion and use in mobility NATURAL HYDROGEN: UNDERSTANDING AND QUANTIFYING HYDROGEN RESOURCES It is now established that molecular hydrogen (H 2) exists naturally on the planet in the form of diffuse or continuous emanations. Since 2008, IFPEN has

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
