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
Biofuels and e-fuels OVERVIEW AND CHALLENGES In France, in 2019, the transport sector emitted 132 million metric tons of CO 2 , i.e. 30% of the country’s total emissions . Renewable and low-carbon fuels are mature and available solutions and, alongside electrification and energy efficiency, represent crucial decarbonization levers
BiofuelS and e-fuels OUR solutions IFPEN is actively involved in the development of four technologies targeting the production of biofuels and e-fuels to meet the needs of the road, aviation and maritime sectors. The technologies cover the entire value chain, from the conversion of a diversified pool of resources through
In the aviation sector, fuels derived from hydrotreated vegetable oils (HEFA a ) are seen as an alternative to petroleum based Jet A-1 b to reduce the environmental footprint of air transport
The optimized design of processes is a complex but promising approach in terms of the expected benefits for the efficiency of industrial systems and their operating performance . It is an area that
The fatigue resistance of floating offshore wind turbines is significantly affected by the wave forces to which their supporting platforms are exposed. Passive and active damper systems — preferably
The development of methanisation sectors is part of a drive to create a circular economy that simultaneously serves three purposes: treat waste , supply energy ( biogas a ), and produce fertilizers
In order to combat climate change, numerous countries introduced policies promoting the use of 1 st -generation biofuels, generating a 7-fold increase in their production between 2000 and 2014. In
