Christophe Copéret receives the Air Liquide Scientific Prize

The 2018 Scientific Challenge organized by Air Liquide, received more than 132 proposals from 34 different countries. They had invited teams of researchers, start-ups and private or public institutes to submit scientific research projects aimed at improving air quality and fighting climate change using "essential small molecules" such as O₂, N₂, H₂, CO₂, etc. in three projects.
Christophe Copéret is among the three winners who receive the A​ir Liquide Scientific Prize​.

The winners, announced on June 27, 2019, are endowed with 50 000 euros. In addition, they have signed a partnership agreement with the Air Liquide Group that will enable them to receive a total 1.5 million euros in funding, shared between the three projects, to ​develop their scientific proposals and transform them into market-ready technologies​.

Prof. Copéret receives the A​ir Liquide Scientific Prize​ for the project:
"H​₂ is coming" ​- ​How to use hydrogen to avoid greenhouse gas and air pollutant emissions in fossil fuel based industrial processes?
His partnership with Air Liquide will focus on the development of efficient catalysts for the use of H2 ​​and CO​2 ​​to produce methanol.​
