IFP Energies nouvelles
IFP Energies nouvelles is a French public-sector research, innovation and training center. Its mission is to develop efficient, economical, clean and sustainable technologies in the fields of energy, transport and the environment. From scientific concepts in fundamental research to technological solutions in applied research, technological innovation is at the heart of its action. IFPEN‘s originality and strength lie in its ability to ensure continuity between fundamental research, applied research and innovation. Its work on a sustainable energy mix aims to lead to economically and energy competitive solutions. IFPEN researchers develop processes, equipment, software and services through R&I programs in four main areas: climate, environment and circular economy; renewable energies; sustainable mobility and responsible oil and gas.
Thanks to more than 15 years of experience in the field of electrochemical storage systems, IFPEN is today recognized as a key player in the modeling and simulation of batteries in France and Europe. Since 2020, IFPEN has decided to widen its research field to battery materials as well, to support the industrial development of post Li-ion battery technologies.
