A new thematic report on green energy research presents the outstanding work of the student and scientific community of the Institut national de la recherche scientifique (INRS).

In Quebec, annual greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reach 8.7 tons per inhabitant. To reduce their impact on the environment, INRS researchers are working on clean and renewable energies.

Whether we’re talking about solar, wind, geothermal, hydroelectric or biogas energy, green energy is a sustainable alternative to fossil fuels. But they must be harnessed properly.

Research conducted at INRS is attempting to increase the efficiency of such energy sources and allow them to reach their full potential.

Find out how our community is contributing to the energy transition.
