Biofuels and e-fuels: Our strengths

Biofuels and e-fuels
Our strengths

• Scientific and technical expertise stemming from process development, present throughout the biofuel value chain
  • catalysis and biocatalysis,
  • chemical engineering,
  • process engineering,
  • dimensioning and design of pilot units and demonstrators, analysis.
     
• Pilot units at the IFP-Lyon site and demonstrators of the key building blocks in the biofuel production chain for application on an industrial scale
  • A value chain approach integrating 
  • technical and economic aspects with cost and profitability analyses 
  • foresight with demand evolution scenarios and impacts on resources (biomass, electricity CO₂, etc.)
  • life cycle analyses (LCA) with evaluation of the environmental impacts of each low-carbon fuel production process. This approach makes it possible to identify the levers for improving environmental performances and thus to guide R&D towards technologies with a lower impact on the environment.
