As a way to achieve carbon neutrality, aircraft engine manufacturers are seeking original engine architectures allowing to comply with European objectives. Several directions for development have been considered which all aim to reduce both the energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. They g

In the context of climate change, the commitment of 22 countries, including France, to triple nuclear energy production by 2050 requires some new accesses to resources. The focus then shifts to the importance of uranium supply, especially for France, and Orano's role in managing the entire fuel cycl

Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF), encompassing fuels synthesized from biomass (biofuels) or zero-carbon electrical sources (electrofuels), offer a short-term solution for decarbonizing the aeronautical sector. Exhibiting main properties similar to conventional jet fuel, using SAF does not require co

MATIAIRE industrial research project is in the scope of European concerns and difficulties in the field of agriculture production which faces many challenges: serve European food sovereignty a medium-term geopolitical issue, as much as an environmental one. Food systems must become sustainable in or

When travelling by train, car or airplane, the seat, which is in direct physical contact with the human body, plays an important role in the comfort experience of passengers. However, designing a single seat capable of accommodating a traveling population is challenging, as the body size and activit

The University of Bordeaux (UBx) on behalf of the Laboratory of Organic Polymer Chemistry’s Institutions, i.e. the CNRS and National Polytechnic Institute of Bordeaux (Bordeaux INP), together with two industrial partners - ArianeGroup and GTT - are joining forces to propose an industrial chair in th

The project is an industrial research program. It brings together three engineering stakeholders from the Pays de la Loire region to study the mechanical behaviour of elastomers as applied to marine applications: • Centrale Nantes, a top 5% French engineering “Grande École’’, • Naval Group, an i

In many industries, and in particularly in glass industry, furnaces are widely adopted technology involving fossil combustibles. Due to the global climate change, breakthroughs are expected to reduce the CO2 footprint. This is becoming all the more important for glass industry, where furnaces are us

Used since prehistoric times, leather is the oldest material invented by man to protect himself from external conditions. It has now become a popular aesthetic material for fashion and luxury. Today, more than two billion square meters are produced worldwide every year. Organised around a sector ran

Electricity production in France relies mainly on nuclear energy and is one of the most decarbonized in the world, emitting approximately 50 g/kWh. This production is ensured by 56 pressurized water nuclear reactors commissioned between 1978 and 1999. Extending the lifespan of these reactors is cruc
