Diversified fuels
Diversifying fuel resources
To alleviate the transport sector's reliance on oil, IFP Energies nouvelles is working on transforming biomass, gas and coal to produce liquid fuels and hydrogen. These various technologies are being developed with a view to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and, in particular, CO 2 .
IFP Energies nouvelles has built up a significant pool of expertise in each of these areas, in terms of both research and technological developments. Many scientific and technological obstacles need to be overcome before these options can be developed. This calls for a multidisciplinary approach drawing on expertise in catalysis and separation, process engineering, physics, analysis and physico-chemistry.
In this field, IFP Energies nouvelles is supported by a number of European and international cooperative partnerships (in particular with Afocel, ARD, Bochum Universität, CEA, Cirad, ECN, INRA, IRCELYON, Laboratoire de catalyse de Lille, LSGC, ONF, University of Strasbourg, VTT, etc.).
