    new technologies

    New energy uses, new environmental constraints, scientific and technological progress give rise to new conversion devices, adaptable to a renewed organization of energy systems. The hydrogen vector thus supplies fuel cells used in energy communities, far removed from large centralized systems. They compete with automotive batteries. Beyond that, the use of blockchains looms!

    Local energy communities
    8 June 2021
    The notions of energy communities are very disparate. There are communities that originate from local initiatives and physically occupy a small piece of territory, neighbourhood, village, or campus. This is the type of community referred to below. But there are also other communities of the virtual type, with geographically dispersed

    Making electric vehicles as convenient as ordinary ones: The rise of supercapacitors
    16 June 2020
    Harold Kroto, at the University of Sussex, had discovered chain like carbon molecules in interstellar gas clouds. Would it be possible to vaporize carbon on earth to produce similar molecules and find out what they are exactly made of ? In order to try and answer this question, Kroto headed

    6 December 2019
    The automotive industry is looking for disruptive innovations that could contribute to its survival and, if necessary, provide it with sustainable competitive advantages (Read: L’automobile du futur : quelles sources d’énergie ?). But innovation is a complex process. It has been identified as a critical factor in business development, but
