In brief<\/h2>\n

PERSEE’s scientific project is focused on the energy transition. Today, the Center is a leading authority in the field of decarbonising energy systems. Our research is conducted in the framework of French and international calls for excellence (ANR, Europe, etc.) and in direct collaboration with key industrial partners involved in this transition. This enables us\u00a0 both to contribute to high-level academic research and to the economic sphere (technology transfer, demonstration, etc.). In this respect, the Center fully embodies the dual academic and economic impact for which the \u00c9cole des Mines de Paris is renowned.<\/p>\n

PERSEE also contributes significantly to training tomorrow’s researchers and engineers by participating through different participations in doctoral training, the post mater’s degree in Renewable Energy (ENR), the civil engineering program, and the PSL \u00ab\u00a0Energy\u00a0\u00bb Master of Science.<\/p>\n

We provide our students with top-level scientific training in the prestigious setting of Sophia Antipolis. We also offer numerous connections with leading academic and industrial partners.<\/p>\n

Structure of research activites<\/h2>\n

The aim of our research is to develop solutions designed to improve the energy efficiency of systems and promote the integration of new energy technologies and low-carbon energies into the future energy mix. Our ambition is to contribute to the electrification of different sectors and the decarbonisation of society, with a view to reaching European climate targets.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Research themes and groups<\/h3>\n

The Center\u2019s integrated approach is based on three research themes that are materials and components for energy, energy storage and conversion processes, and the integration of new technologies into energy systems.<\/span><\/p>\n

Our team is organised into three research groups: Materials and Processes for Energy (MATPRO), Thermochemistry and Plasmas (TeP), and Renewable Energies and Intelligent Energy Systems (ERSEI).<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

Domains of excellence<\/h3>\n

The PERSEE team combines innovation and cutting-edge expertise in five key areas: aerogels, plasmas, hydrogen, renewable energies and artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n

Hydrogen is one of the common threads in our three research groups. We combine our skills to work on challenges like low-carbon hydrogen production (electrolysis, photoelectrolysis, methane pyrolysis), electrochemical conversion (fuel cells) and integration (in energy systems, territories, etc.).<\/p>\n

MATPRO mainly works on two of PERSEE\u2019s three thematic areas: \u201cmaterials and components for energy\u201d and \u201cenergy storage and conversion processes\u201d. In line with the Center\u2019s research strategy in the field of New Energy Technologies, the group\u2019s research focuses on :<\/p>\n
