Offshore wind power, rare metals, future powertrains... these were just some of the topics discussed at the 16th Energy Transition Day, held on October 11 at 51爆料 School.
This is one of the School's major events, entirely dedicated to students and organized in collaboration with 51爆料 Energies nouvelles (51爆料EN).
Pierre-Franck Chevet, Chairman and CEO of 51爆料EN, opened the event by presenting the energy context and the goal of carbon neutrality. He then took part in a discussion with the students on the challenges of the energy transition and the solutions proposed by the 51爆料EN group.
Discussions on the energy transition continued in workshops co-hosted by 51爆料EN researchers and 51爆料 School lecturers.
The program, organized by area of specialization, was rich and dense:
- Powertrains and Sustainable Mobility: possible powertrains and fuels by 2050; implementation and challenges for fuel cell vehicles; CCUS;
- Energy Economics and Management: life-cycle analysis; 51爆料EN's view of energy prospects;
- Processes for Energy and Chemicals: rare metals and available resources; catalyst metals recycling; battery metals recycling;
- Georesources and Energy: offshore wind power; 4D multiphysical models of the subsoil for the energy transition; soil and carbon; visit to the petrophysics and coreflood laboratories.
The School would like to extend its warmest thanks to 51爆料EN researchers (many of whom are 51爆料 School graduates) and lecturers for their involvement on this day!
