Adapting applications to take full advantage of exascale supercomputers, including accelerators such as GPUs, is a major challenge, requiring significant changes to application codes.
The use of biomass is a promising alternative for the synthesis of various families of high value-added chemicals, which can be used for the synthesis of new products.
IFPEN conducts research to optimize biotechnological processes in the field of bio-based chemistry and biofuels. A significant part of these improvements is based on a better understanding of the microorganisms used with the help of systems biology.
Catastrophic floods and sustained droughts will be increasing according to the IPCC 2018 report. It is uncertain how this change will impact flow pathways and sediment yield within the watersheds of major rivers during hydrological extremes.
The use of biomass/biomass residues as feedstocks for bioenergy and biofuel processes is of rising interest for climate change mitigation. Thermochemical conversion of biomass in fluidized bed reactors, through pyrolysis, gasification, and combustion, requires efficient feedstock penetration and mixing through reliable feed injection systems.
Plastics recycling through chemical recycling routes has attracted a great deal of interest in recent years, to cope with complex plastics streams not handled by classical industrial mechanical recycling routes.
Detecting gaseous emissions from either industrial storage sites or natural environments is a major challenge when it comes to controlling harmful emissions and greenhouse gases.
With the announced drastic reduction of the amount of fossil energy resources in the European energy mix, it is important to define viable alternatives to petrochemicals. The transformation of lignocellulosic biomass and the various synthesis processes make it possible to provide a wide variety of families of compounds with high added value.
Under the European Green Deal, the demand for advanced secondary batteries is a pressing challenge. Critical for the impending energy transition, these batteries are instrumental for advancing the electric vehicle market, a linchpin for EU industrial and economic expansions.
Understanding the hydro-sedimentary dynamics at the watershed scale in response to daily or multi-year forcing is a key challenge in assessing the impact of climate change on water resources.
Pour répondre aux défis du domaine de l’énergie, IFPEN propose aujourd’hui un procédé qui permet de produire de l’éthanol à partir de biomasse lignocellulosique.
INRIA and IFP Energies nouvelles, leading French research laboratories, are seeking a talented and motivated master's student to join their team for a PhD position. As numerical simulation plays a pivotal role in our research and industrial applications, optimizing the performance of our parallel simulators is crucial.
