IFP Energies nouvelles (IFPEN) is a major player in research and training in the fields of energy, transport and the environment. From scientific concepts in fundamental research to technological solutions in applied research, technological innovation is at the heart of its action.
Focus on
Biomass: a key factor in the energy transition? For IFPEN, it's a no-brainer: transport is responsible for a quarter of the planet's CO2 emissions, and the use of certain biomass-rich waste products can help to decarbonize it. How can this be achieved? Among other innovations, our teams have developed various methods for producing biofuels from agricultural and forestry waste: blended directly with gasoline, kerosene or diesel, advanced biofuels have a much better environmental record than fossil fuels.
