Aurélien Bigo defended his thesis in 2020 on the subject “Transport facing the challenge of energy transition. Explorations between past and future, technology and sobriety, acceleration and slowdown.” It aims to deepen the means to achieve the objective of carbon neutrality in the transport sector in France by 2050. He worked in 2021 on the ADEME Transition(s) 2050 prospective scenarios.
He is now an independent researcher and associate of the Chair.
In situations of water shortage and unreliability of the public water supply service, the rehabilitation of old water supply systems could constitute an additional source of supply. The chapter questions both the rationale of their rehabilitation and the state of nowledge associated with their use, based on the example of the old city of Ahmedabad in...
Hydrogen valleys, which integrate renewable energy sources, hydrogen infrastructure, and end-use applications, play a crucial role in decarbonizing industrial energy hubs. However, the large-scale deployment of hydrogen is constrained by limited renewable electricity availability and high technology costs. A key insight from our analysis is that the merit order of hydrogen end-uses is dynamic, evolving...
This one-day workshop brings together researchers working on the design, evaluation, and impact of climate policies aimed at fostering the development and diffusion of low-carbon technologies. The presentations will cover a range of topics including the regulation of urban transport emissions, the integration of carbon dioxide removal into energy markets, the strategic adoption of...
