Engie
Willing to take a lead within the Energy Transition in Europe, ENGIE is highly involved in the development of sustainable and renewable energies from their production to their uses in cities and territories. In this context, ENGIE consider hydrogen as a promising energy carrier comprising a huge flexibility to energy system in order to optimize renewables integration and to support the development of efficient and green energy uses at centralized or decentralized level. Within the ENGIE company, the ENGIE Lab CRIGEN, a corporate R&D center of ENGIE dedicated to new gases and energies, conducts operational R&D projects and develops pilots for the Business Units and corporate entities of ENGIE as well as external customers, in an effort to master tomorrow’s technologies, bring them to maturity, and prepare the Energy Transition. ENGIE Lab CRIGEN creates value through innovative low-carbon solutions for ENGIE’s customers and innovative solutions to improve operational excellence of industrial assets based on three different pillars:
- New gases (biogas, biomethane, hydrogen, Power to gas and Power to Liquid, LNG and retail LNG)
- New uses of energy (energy storage, future building and cities, future industry, green mobility, societal and environmental impacts)
- Digital and Enabling Technologies (Drones and robot, artificial intelligence and computer science, nanotechnologies and sensors
Regarding hydrogen ENGIE Lab CRIGEN is involved from more than 15 years in the whole value chain, on technological R&D and expertise (production, transport, distribution and uses), process modelling and simulation, tools development implemented in pilots and demonstrators.
