The technological roadmaps for the R&D orientation of the Carnot Institute are related to sustainable engineering :
- sustainable and clean exploitation of mineral and energetic resources
- rational use of fossile and renewable energies
- materials engineering
- clean and safe industrial process engineering
Its positioning is declined on four main topics with a strong socio-economic impact :
- new resources : exploration, management, recycling and recovery ;
- performance, functionalization, degradation and assembly of materials ;
- processes of development and treatment in the sectors of materials transformation and chemical industries ;
- production, storage and rational use of energy, and integrated energy management.
Three transverse research axis are developed to support these orientations : recyclability and eco-design of materials and processes, CO2 capture and storage, modeling and simulation.
Skills and resources…
The ICÉEL brings together unique capabilities to meet R&D and innovation needs of its industrial partners. Combination of scientific and technological expertise of its members with numerous technology platforms creates a suitable environment to develop multidisciplinary projects.
…targeted to the markets of our partners and customers
The ICÉEL accounts for more than 8 M€ per year in direct industrial contracts through over 300 projects with companies, and maintains partnerships with a range of 80 to 100 active clients in the SME segment. Its organization aims to maintain the continuous improvement of quality of services.
