Energy [ Return towards Innovation ]
Traditional fossil fuels (coal, oil, natural gas) are gradually decreasing whereas energy needs are constantly increasing. It is therefore essential as of today to use energy more efficiently and to develop cleaner alternative energies.
Photovoltaic energy
To help the Group’s customers reduce the cost of solar panels, the researchers are developing new gases and processes to manufacture photovoltaic cells.
Second-generation biofuels
In the clean alternative energy field, our researchers design gasification technologies that are critical for producing second-generation biofuels.
Hydrogen: producing clean energy
Hydrogen coupled with the fuel cell is also an alternative to fuels that is being actively developed by the Group, which is conducting research on the complete hydrogen chain, from hydrogen production to clean power generation.
And also...
The Group’s researchers are developing advanced systems of process control. They allow to limit the energy consumption of our production units, whether they are isolated or linked together by a pipeline network.
Over a longer term, the Group’s expertise in cryogenics offers it a privileged position for taking part in developments in power transportation via superconducting cables or in nuclear fusion.
