ENERGY

The energy transition and collective awareness of climate change have highlighted the need to shift the world's energy towards a low-carbon energy mix, favoring renewable energies.  

According to the International Energy Agency, fossil fuel shares (coal, oil, natural gas) in global energy production have remained close to 80% for decades and will fall to 73% by 2030.  

The transition to renewable energies (wind, hydrogen, biomass, solar…) is underway. Governments and businesses are investing heavily in renewable energies to reduce carbon emissions and combat climate change. The programs for new nuclear reactors (SMR, New nuclear Built, etc.) and green hydrogen are currently at the heart of R&D investments and will place a considerable burden on the engineering professions over the next ten years. 

Energy Transition
To contain global warming and greenhouse gas emissions, a radical diversification of energy production should be implemented that extends beyond electricity; particularly, the decarbonisation of heating and cooling networks and the adoption of sustainable mobility (hydrogen solutions). 
Challenges

Financing the development of renewable energies (wind, photovoltaic, biogas, hydraulic, etc.) 

Integrating energy storage solutions to overcome the intermittency of renewable energy production

Designing new families of high-performance nuclear reactors, less expensive, and with optimized time-to-market 

Digital & Intelligent Network
Digital technology and data exploitation have profoundly changed every link in the energy chain. The production engineer can now monitor and correct the drift of his processes in real-time, the plant manager can obtain a daily assessment of the complete economic performance of his plant, and the energy management authorities may now optimize the day-to-day management of their resources and the purchase of energy on the markets. At the heart of this transformation, these new challenges offer a new and decisive role to engineers by improving general performance. 
Challenges

Deploying architecture and control systems in existing plants 

Ensuring cybersecurity of the connected energy system

Connecting all transport networks to the delivery point 

Improve Environment Impact
Economic and demographic growth is placing increasing pressure on energy, water and mineral resources. In parallel with the energy transition, new exploration, operations and recycling (at controlled costs), technology will have to be implemented to extend access to these resources and optimize their consumption.
Challenges

Meeting demands related to new energy uses (e.g., cobalt/electric vehicles) 

Developing new waste sorting and recycling solutions
