Many applications at IFPEN rely on computationally expensive simulators which take scalar variables as inputs, but also functional variables representing, for example, the geometry of mechanical pieces, or spatio-temporal environmental conditions (such as wind).
In the context of growing interest in circular economy solutions, chemical recycling by pyrolysis is a promising way of converting plastic and tyre waste into pyrolysis oil and then back into monomers and/or chemical bases in steam cracking or refining processes.
Lithium-ion batteries are today the most interesting solution to answer the ever-increasing demand for electrochemical energy storage devices. The two main requirements for such systems are a higher gravimetric capacity and an increased safety, both can be solved using a solid electrolyte instead of the liquid ones in the current technology.
All-solid-state batteries (ASSBs) represent a major step forward in the energy transition, with a particularly promising impact in the transport and mobility sector. ASSBs offer increased efficiency and a solution to current challenges in terms of energy density and safety.
Applications are invited for a full-time PhD position to work within the “Digital Earth” project of PEPR (Programmes et équipements prioritaires de recherche) exploratoire « Sous-sol – Bien Commun » , which brings together Universities and Research Centres with the end goal of improving current knowledge of the physics of coupled phenomena in th
As plastic waste defines the Anthropocene, efforts towards the development of recycling technology are ramping up. For polyolefins (PO), common packaging materials, the available technologies of mechanical recycling and of pyrolysis (thermal conversion) have several drawbacks and can process only a fraction of waste.
Offshore wind turbines are an important component of the energy transition underway in France and around the world. IFP Energies nouvelles studies in particular the technology of floating wind turbines, which can be deployed in relative deep sea.
Through various research programs, IFP Energies nouvelles is now strongly involved in the development of bioprocesses for biofuels and bio-based chemical intermediates. The overwhelming majority of bio-based fermentation products are obtained today through a microbial monoculture approach.
L’impact du changement climatique et des activités anthropiques sur l’évolution des ressources en eau constitue aujourd’hui un enjeu sociétal majeur.
Aujourd’hui le quart de la consommation en énergie est en lien avec l’usage de fluides techniques de type lubrifiant. Cela s’applique à de multiples secteurs allant de la production d’énergie à la mobilité (véhicules hybrides ou électriques, moteurs thermiques décarbonés).
La récente règlementation européenne prévoit 100% d’électrification du parc automobile en 2035. Le stockage des énergies renouvelables est également en plein essor. Il apparait donc crucial d’accroitre la densité d’énergie des systèmes de stockage de l’électricité ainsi que d’en améliorer leur sécurité.
Depuis les années 1950 et l’utilisation croissante des plastiques (Geyer et al., 2017) et du fait d’une mauvaise gestion des déchets qu’ils génèrent, la pollution par les macro- et micro-plastiques impacte l’environnement global, qu’ils s’agissent de l’air, des eaux fluviatiles ou marines, des sols, des sédiments lacustres ou marins (e.g.
