Carnot Institute “Énergies du futur”
Taking things a step further
Although its core business is energy, the Carnot Institute “Énergies du futur” also has strong expertise in micro and nanotechnologies, materials, mechanical engineering and processes, transport and chemistry. As a cross-functional and multi-disciplinary institution, it is able to control complex technologies.
Furthermore, many projects initiated by the laboratories at the Carnot Institute “Énergies du futur” were approved and funded by the Tenerrdis cluster, through five action programmes in particular; management of networks, hydraulics, hydrogen and fuel cells, solar energy and buildings and biomass. The laboratories now have high performance equipment and instruments allowing them to model, develop and characterise materials and systems.
The Carnot Institute “Énergies du futur” is able to call on a network of scientific excellence which allows it to transfer successful technologies and spin-offs. It also has experience with industrial partnerships ranging from major groups to small businesses. It is no surprise that this forward looking institute turned its efforts towards university training and techniques.
