Towards sustainable high-temperature industrial processes

Collaboration between the PEPR SPLEEN and the GDR TAMARYS on decarbonisation

The decarbonisation of high-temperature industrial processes: a priority shared by the PEPR SPLEEN and the TAMARYS research group. Founded in 2019, this research group aims to bring together specialists in materials science and heat transfer science to overcome the multi-scale and multi-physics obstacles encountered in the development of industrial processes and systems dominated by radiative transfers.

At the TAMARYS seminar ‘Towards new sustainable low-carbon industrial processes at high temperatures (800-1600°C): thermal design and optimisation, durability of materials, design of a multi-source pilot furnace’ organised on Tuesday 14 January at the CNRS headquarters, Pierre Zoschke, programme leader of the PEPR SPLEEN, presented the programme’s research priorities and the seven themes of the Call for Expressions of Interest to be launched in 2025. Three of these are closely related to the issues addressed by the TAMARYS GDR:

Electrification of low energy cost processes.

Heat management, waste heat recovery; moisture management in inputs and industrial products.

New concepts for furnaces and high-temperature industrial thermal storage.

Many thanks to the members of the GDR TAMARYS for their current and future exchanges and collaboration.
