Focus on 5 Research and Innovation projects for the climate

On the #WorldClimateDay discover 5 innovations that could have a major impact on the climate!

Renewable energy, electric vehicle, solar power, depollution, river use... Let's shape the future together.
REMORA - Renewable energy storage

REMORA has been designed to be installed offshore in shallow water, near renewable energy sources such as wind turbines or solar panels in order to store the energy they produce intermittently. The use of compressed air will make it possible to feed back up to 70% of the electricity stored, compared with around 40% for similar existing systems.

SOxLOW enables the desulfurization of heavy fuel oil and the fact that it can be done on-board ships for continuous treatment. This process combines different chemical and biological techniques, never used before on heavy fuel oils and enabling the ships to respect the MARPOL convention on sea pollution.
