For a world without fossil fuels – Valorization of carbon-free energy carriers, energy management – in close collaboration with companies in the transport or energy production sectors.

The area’s activities are in line with the following societal challenges:

  • GREEN DEAL – objective 55: carbon neutrality, focus on transport
    • Industrial resilience/reindustrialization of European countries
  • European energy independence

The scientific project is

  • to study the combustion and valorization of carbon-free energy carriers (gas, liquid, solid carbon-free or carbon neutral) based on an experimental approach and on quasi and mono-dimensional modeling
  • to offer an energy optimization of systems

Research themes

The ECM Area is supported by multi-disciplinary skills in energetics and automatic control, and is positioned at the crossroads between the fundamental and applied aspects (energy transport and production) of the following themes:

1 - Combustion and Fuels: carbon-free or carbon-neutral fuel influences (Dihydrogen, Ammonia, Biogas, Syngas) on

  • the fundamental aspects of combustion: flame propagation, fuel auto-ignition, spray , preparation of the air-fuel mixture
  • the performances of energy converters depending on combustion modes: spark ignition, compression ignition, dual-fuel, HCCI, RCCI, etc.

2 – Modeling, optimization, control

  • Physical modeling for control
  • Hybridization and powertrain control for different technologies and architectures
  • Energy management, improving powertrain efficiency
