Paris hosts EUROCORR 2024: a step forward in research and awareness on corrosion issues

From September 1 to 5, corrosion specialists gathered in Paris for the EUROCORR 2024 conference, organized by the European Corrosion Federation (EFC) and the French Anticorrosion Centre (CEFRACOR). A glimpse into the work presented by the IFPEN teams at this event, under the slogan “A step forward in societal awareness of material degradation issues”. Just as the Paralympic Games were taking place in the capital, the EFC was also honoring the finest experts in the field.

Geothermal energy: exploiting the planet’s heat

Using the Earth’s underground temperature to produce heat or electricity: that is the principle behind geothermal energy. Less well known than solar and wind energy, it is nevertheless the third most widely used renewable energy in France. This is how it works.

Renewable energies

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
