Some technological innovations for a sustainable energy transition

Synthesis

1) Introduction: brief summary of challenges and IEA or IPCC recommendations

2) Protecting our environment: a few examples of new technologies

2.1: Identifying or assessing potential impacts of human activities: metagenomics, valvometry, use of drones…

2.2: Minimizing our industrial impacts on waters, soils or biodiversity

3) Decarbonizing our energy: a few examples of renewable energies and innovations related to CCUS

3.1: From biomass to 3rd generation biofuels

3.2: Photovoltaic (PV) energy: some innovations to improve performance (bifacial PV modules), reduce costs (maintenance with drones) and mitigate the intermittence

3.3: CCUS (Carbon Capture, Use & Storage): some innovations to reduce CO2 capture costs, ensure its reliable long-term storage and identify sustainable uses of CO2

4) Evolution of the O&G world: the Exploration – Production case

4.1: Gas: the energy transition hydrocarbon

4.2: Evolutions of operational efficiency: Geosciences, Reservoir, Drilling…

5) Conclusion: The importance of new technologies: digital, robotics, artificial intelligence… Energy sobriety! Critical metals. Technical, geographical, political and economic components.

Objectives

Energy transition awareness: to show that there are short-term and/or long-term innovative technical solutions; to better appreciate or assess means to fight climate change. To introduce the R&D world to the students. To make them dream (sometimes). But to remind them that the real world is subject to technological, geographical, (geo)political, economic and social constraints.
