Chemical engineering and processes

The "Unité de Chimie et Procédés (UCP)" focuses on two main areas: process engineering and organic synthesis and reactivity.

The "Génie des Procédés - GDP" group conducts research and training in the fields of thermodynamics, thermochemistry, combustion, and thermophysics. This work, which is both experimental and theoretical, has applications in sectors such as energy, transportation, the environment, space, and process safety.

The "Synthèse Organique et Réactive (SOR)" group is part of the Chemistry and Processes Unit. This integration promotes interdisciplinary collaboration, allowing the SOR group to benefit from synergies with other fields of chemistry and process engineering. This group is also part of the UMR LSO (Laboratoire de Synthèse Organique), a laboratory of ENSTA and École Polytechnique.

What if we put wind turbines in the sky?

Generating renewable electricity at an altitude of 1,000 meters using airships—held to the ground by a cable—equipped with wind turbines: this is the bold challenge taken up by Venturix. Founded by engineer Guillaume Desrocques, the start-up, winner of...

Metal recycling: towards greener and more efficient methods

With nearly 7% of global CO₂ emissions linked to the metallurgy industry, metal recycling is clearly essential to reducing the sector's footprint. But how can metal waste be transformed into high-performance materials capable of meeting the needs of the...
