Each year, the grape harvest period recalls a reality that is often underestimated: the carbon dioxide (CO₂) resulting from fermentation constitutes one of the main risks in wine cellars. Invisible, heavier than air, and capable of rapidly replacing oxygen, it can cause severe illness or even fatal accidents when it accumulates in the […]

While hydrogen is often presented as the cornerstone of the energy transition, its development raises numerous technical, economic and safety challenges. A new technology, based on recycling CO₂ from combustion fumes and converting it into e-fuels like methanol, opens up a simpler, more pragmatic way of accelerating [...]

Oxy-combustion is a technology that involves burning a fuel in the presence of pure oxygen, rather than using ambient air. This produces fumes containing mainly CO₂ and water vapor, making it easier to capture CO₂ for storage or recovery. However, the production of pure oxygen is energy-intensive. An alternative [...]

A new way to burn In power plants or cement factories, fuels are usually burned with air. But air is mostly nitrogen (nearly 80 %!). As a result, the fumes contain little CO₂ (only 10 to 15 %). Nitrogen is used as a heat transfer agent, and is therefore not [...]
