We were pleased to host our annual seminar at IFP School, chaired by the members of our Scientific Council: Roger Aines, Sabine Fuss, and Volker Sick.
Our students Romain Presty, Siwar Saadaoui, and Pauline ASCON — presented their research, sparking lively discussions with industrial representatives Farah Doumit, PhD, Pierre Millereau, Simon Lang, Léo BARRUOL, Richard Phan, and all attendees. Together, we explored key challenges in advancing low-carbon solutions.
Several important topics emerged from these discussions, which will shape the research for the second phase of the chair:
• Integrating BECCUS and other low-carbon technologies into industrial supply chains
• Evaluating policy instruments such as the EU ETS for driving emission reductions
• Developing optimal strategies for industrial emission reductions
• Identifying viable business models for sustainable low-carbon pathways
• Addressing social aspects of the low carbon transition
• Ensuring industrial competitiveness while reducing emissions
The seminar highlighted the value of collaboration between academia and industry and reinforced the urgency of working together to overcome the complex, interconnected challenges of the low-carbon transition.
