The geological storage of CO2 is a preferred solution to counter greenhouse gas emissions. CO2 is injected into former oil reservoirs or deep aquifers, from which it cannot escape. The storage's leak tightness must be ensured, and IFPEN is a key player in this field.
The urgency to combat global warming has led to extensive research into renewable energy sources. Among these, biofuel is emerging as a promising alternative to petroleum.
Lithium-ion batteries, although highly efficient, can pose risks not only under abusive conditions but also within normal conditions of use set by the manufacturer. The risks are not limited to everyday use, and also concern the industrial sector (storage, construction, reconditioning, waste treatment, recycling).
Global textile production has almost tripled since the 1970’s while manufacturers switched to synthetic fibres which now comprise 60-70% of all textiles. The end‑of‑life management of polyester, polyamide, polyurethane and their blends remains sub‑optimal at best.
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.
This PhD subject aims to develop a thermodynamically consistent model for thermo-hydro-mechanical-chemical (THMC) coupling in a porous medium subjected to multiphase flows.
IFP Energies Nouvelles offers an innovative PhD opportunity at the intersection of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and High-Performance Computing (HPC).
The global energy transition towards the electrification of transportation has triggered an unprecedented demand in battery production, leading to a critical need for the sustainable recovery of strategic metals such as lithium or cobalt.
Zeolites, characterized by their well-defined crystalline and nanoporous structures, are pivotal in transitioning from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources to produce fuels and chemicals.
Bitumen emulsion techniques represent a major solution for decarbonizing road construction and lead to a significant reduction in the carbon footprint of roadworks.
IFP Energies nouvelles (IFPEN) is offering a PhD position in the field of power electronics for electric mobility. The research will focus on the development of a multifunctional traction inverter integrating additional functions (e.g., a DC/DC stage), providing new degrees of freedom compared to conventional two-level inverters.
Controlling pollutant emissions is one of today’s most pressing environmental challenges. Greenhouse gases (GHGs) and industrial emissions such as methane (CH₄) and hydrogen (H₂) directly impact air quality, safety, and climate change.
