A panorama on research, 2007

This report proposes an overview of ADEME (French Agency for Energy Conservation and Management) sponsored research activities oriented on advances in terms of energy savings and protection of the environment in different sectors (in 2007): transports (transport organisation and planning, transport technologies), energy saving building (stock characteristics, evolution of building technologies, noise reduction and air quality, integration of solar energy in buildings), CO2 capture and storage, production of electricity from renewable sources (wind, sea, hydroelectric, photovoltaic energy), bio-energies and bio-products (biomolecules and biomaterials, biofuels, wood-energy, geothermal energy), intelligent networks and energy storage (insertion of renewable energies on energy transport and distribution network, improvement of network energy efficiency), eco-technologies and clean and low-consumption processes, impacts of air pollution, noise and associated monitoring, impacts of land pollution, waste management and sustainable perspectives
