Bringing together seven research and R&D laboratories renowned for their scientific expertise and extensive experimental resources, the Carnot Energy and Propulsion Systems (ESP) institute focuses on the development of systems for the production and transport of energy.energy and propulsion systems more efficient and environmentally friendly.
The Carnot label, obtained as early as 2006, and renewed in 2016, testifies to both the scientific quality of its teams and its commitment to placing partnership research at the heart of its strategy.
The Catalysis and Spectrochemistry Laboratory (LCS-UMR6506), rated A+ by the HCERES, prepares and studies solid catalysts for environmental and sustainable development applications.
The LCS has built its reputation on catalyst operando spectroscopy, i.e. observing the material in the chemical reactor in real time during the reaction.
With a strong focus on infrared spectroscopy, as well as NMR and Raman spectroscopy, the LCS occupies a unique position in the fields of automotive pollution control (exhaust catalysts), energy production (refining, biofuels) and bioresources.
Research at the LCS revolves around two main areas based on the laboratory’s core competencies:
Energy and Powertrain Systems
The Carnot ESP institute brings together academic research laboratories and technology transfer centers to tackle issues linked to the optimization of energy and propulsion systems.
The Carnot ESP institute supports regional industries such as Normandie AeroEspace and Energies Haute-Normandie.
Its teams are also involved in R&D projects at the MOV’EO, Aerospace Valley, ASTech, Nov@log, TES and System@tic competitiveness clusters…
The ESP Carnot Institute boasts recognized skills and know-how,
as well as extensive experimental resources, in fields ranging from energetics, fluid mechanics, materials, vibro-acoustics and on-board electronic systems, to the study of emissions and their environmental impact.
A large part of the ESP Carnot Institute’s research activity is carried out in partnership with players from the socio-economic world.
Its teams, grouped together on a single site, are used to carrying out
joint projects and are equipped with complementary resources.
His approach ranges from the most basic to the pre-competitive.
Its aim is to contribute to the introduction of new transformation processes that are less energy-intensive and more environmentally friendly.
