Research areas

The IFP's reseachers are working to identify solutions to tackle greenhouse gas emissions:

- improving after-combustion capture methods for CO₂ contained in flue gases,
- reducing the costs, particularly the energy costs, of capture technologies, of compressing and transporting CO₂
- ensuring that CO₂ can be stored in a sustainable way and assessing the risks posed by potential leaks through overburdens and via wells,
- optimizing tools to model CO₂ storage,
- developing materials to ensure storage areas remain airtight over very long periods,
- perfecting tools and processes to track changes in CO₂ during injection and storage

Joint research projects

In addition, IFP leads or participates in a number of public-funded projects at a national scale (ANR, ADEME) and on an international scale (European Commission).
Industrial partners are also contributing to this research by funding a number of consortia.

• CO₂ capture and transport
   
• Geological storage of CO₂
