Biogas Our networks Biomet Project Within the context of the French Investments for the Future program, ADEME supported the Biomet project targeting the energy recovery of biomass using high-energy performance gas sweetening technology. In partnership with the SME Arol Energy, IFPEN worked on the purification of biogas from biomethane fermentation

IFPEN develops eco-efficient biogas purification processes prior to reinjection into the network.

Biogas OVERVIEW AND CHALLENGES Biogas refers to all gases produced via the biological or chemical conversion of biomass/biowaste. Once the gas has been purified to meet regulatory requirements, biomethane can be injected into the natural gas networks or used as a fuel. There are two principal methods of producing biogas

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. In order to

From the pretreatment of biomass to fuel production, via the optimization and integration of the different steps, IFPEN’s research covers the entire process chain.
