The research unit

A multidisciplinary research unit at the heart of tropical energy challenges.

Three Scientific Operations

ENERGY-Lab’s research focuses on the deployment of distributed systems integrating multi-source production units (variable energy: solar, wind, and flexible: geothermal) for green hydrogen production. Scientific operations are led by researchers in energy engineering, electronics, automation, computer engineering and environmental physics.
