Energy and processes
The research carried out by the Energy and Processes Department aims to provide reliable, competitive and environmentally-friendly solutions to the growing demand for goods and services.
Research is organized around three main themes: energy efficiency, process decarbonization and renewable energies.
3 research centers are affiliated to this department, headed by Philippe Blanc.
CEEP
Centre Énergie, Environnement, Procédés (Energy, environment & processes)
It brings together 6 research teams focusing on the following themes:
- Energy demand management
- Eco-design and building thermics
- Systems thermodynamics
- Transfers, reactions and processes
- Process thermodynamics
- Transport, efficiency and decarbonation
This center was created from the merger of the Centre Efficacité Énergétique des Systèmes (CES) and the Centre Thermodynamique des procédés (CES).
OIE
Centre Observation, Impacts, Énergie (Observation, Impact, Energy)
The scientific aim of this center is to characterize and analyze the spatial and temporal aspects of renewable energy resources and the environmental impacts of energy sources.
It is developing research activities in the fields of renewable energy resource assessment (solar, wind, etc.), the use of meteorology for energy, the environmental impacts of energy use, and the interoperability and dissemination of information via databases and web services.
PERSEE
Centre procédés, énergies renouvelables et systèmes énergétiques (Processes, Renewable Energies and Energy Systems)
The PERSEE Center’s activities focus on new energy technologies and renewable energies, with the aim of contributing to the development of innovative technologies and methods capable of increasing their share of the energy mix.
They are structured around 3 research themes:
- the development of advanced (nano)materials and components for energy;
- the design and study of sober and efficient processes for energy storage and conversion;
- optimizing their integration into energy systems, networks and infrastructures.
A wide range of applications are covered, including high-performance building envelopes, thermochemical biomass conversion, fuel cells, hydrogen, integration of renewable energies and smart grids.
