The ‘Refining-Petrochemicals’ results centre encompasses IFP’s R & D activities in the field of sulphur recovery technologies, the results of which are exploited by the subsidiary Prosernat, in the field of the technologies of refining, petrochemicals, GTL (gas to liquid) and vegetable oil esters for the production of diesel fuels, the results of which are exploited by the subsidiary Axens, and in the field of CTL (coal to liquid), biomass (excluding vegetable oil esters for the production of diesel fuels) and hydrogen production, the results of which are exploited in collaboration with other industrial partners.
Ühest küljest hõlmab rafineerimise-naftakeemia tulemuskeskus IFP teadus- ja arendustegevust väävlitustamise valdkonnas, mille tulemusi kasutab tütarettevõte Prosernat, rafineerimistehnoloogiate, naftakeemia, veeldatud gaasi (gas to liquid), diislikütustes kasutatavate taimeõlide estrite valdkonnas, mille tulemusi kasutab tütarettevõte Axens, ning vedeldatud kivisöe (coal to liquid), biomassi (peale diislikütustes kasutatavate taimeõlide estrite) ja vesiniku tootmise valdkonnas, mille tulemusi kasutatakse koostöös teiste tööstuspartneritega.
