SDG 13: Climate Action

Recognizing that current storage solutions are unable to stabilize enough the intermintent renewable energy production, new long term energy storage solutions are becoming mandatory. Current long-term energy storage is mainly provided by Pumped-Storage Hydroelectricity (PSH).

IMT Atlantique is taking part in a vast project developed to optimize agricultural practices and adapt them to the new climate circumstances. Among other things, the institution is conducting research aimed to design efficient rainwater reserves to improve irrigation conditions.

Supported by the European Commission to the tune of €5m, COCPIT stands for "scalable solutions optimisation and decision tool creation for low impact SAF production chain from a lIpid-rich microalgae sTrain", 

Reducing the carbon footprint of the transport sector by developing a new certified biofuel for aviation from microalgae is the ambitious aim of the European COCPIT project led by the Energy Systems and Environment Department (DSEE) at IMT Atlantique (UMR CNRS 6144 GEPEA), which was officially launched in Nantes

How can we monitor underground water tables? How can they be protected from various sources of pollution? What warning systems should be put in place? These questions are the subject of a major European research project: NINFA.

The MODELIS research team at IMT Atlantique's Automation, Production Engineering and Computer Science department (LS2N) is working to optimize the operation of complex systems, such as goods flows, transport networks and production chains.

Electrifying thermal processes as a solution for industry decarbonation.

The project aims to develop cost-effective groundwater monitoring strategies, pollution prevention and abatement technologies, and an early warning system.

Gathering 31 partners from 10 different countries, DECARBOMILE aims to trigger an unprecedented improvement of the green last mile logistics in Europe. To reach that goal, DECARBOMILE relies on a strong experience of decarbonating urban logistics through European initiatives such as CIVITAS.
