The GEPEA's scientific project is focused on the response of Process Engineering to societal issues. Its overall aim is to contribute to the development of the Factory of the Future and to industrial renewal in order to meet the challenges of environmental, energy and food transitions. More specifically, the themes developed combine experimental and modelling approaches within a deliberately multi-scale approach, ranging from the understanding of the mechanisms involved to transposition on industrial-scale processes.

Cultivating microalgae on the walls of our cities, in particular to capture carbon dioxide, is the concept developed by Olivier Scheffer of XTU Architects and Jérémy Pruvost, a process engineering researcher at the University of Nantes. The first achievements will soon see the light of day. As a result, our bio-facades will come in all shades of red, brown and green!

Microalgae can produce food, fuel and capture carbon dioxide in the process. These tiny organisms seem to meet many of humanity's development challenges. Yet scaling up the technology from a lab environment to industrial capacity is no easy task. The AlgoSolis research platform, inaugurated this year on the West coast of France, will provide scientists the tools they need to develop and test the next generation of technologies for a mass production of microalgae.
