Energy transition and research

As part of its Master Plan for Sustainable Development and Social Responsibility (in French), Centrale Nantes aims to:

Research in support of energy transition

Energy transition is both an environmental obligation and a lever for industrial development. The development of renewable energies, such as marine energies, requires breakthrough innovations in energy storage and transport systems. Finally, the school's research into engine systems and reducing pollutant emissions supports multi-disciplinary training.


Energy production is responsible for the majority of greenhouse gas emissions (...) Centrale Nantes researchers are involved in new renewable energy production systems. They are also working on energy efficiency (...) and lifestyles and different ways of living in cities and regions.
