Article de Alexandre SCHAMBERGER (MS EnvIM 2023-24) Introduction Electricity serves as an energy carrier, enabling the instant transmission of energy over long distances and its conversion into other forms, such as heat. This innovation revolutionized the energy supply sector in the late 19th century. Today, long-term projections for the global energy system indicate a significant rise in the importance of battery storage, especially electrochemical technologies, driven by several key factors.
Article de Haocheng Yang (MS EnvIM 2023-24) Introduction Over the past 50 years, China has been through a remarkable economic expansion along with population growth from 0.6 billion to 1.4 billion.

Article de Eva Tavares (MS EnvIM 2023-24) Introduction Imagine embarking on a train journey travelling through scenic landscapes only to face unexpected stops or delays due to weather disruptions. As climate change intensify, no sector is spared. Over the past few decades, transport infrastructures around the world have faced unprecedented challenges. Every journey, once predictable, now is exposed to extreme weather events that create vulnerabilities in rail networks. Extreme weather
Article de Tanguy Larcher (MS EnvIM 2023-24) In « Sans transition », the energy historian criticizes the notion of energy transition, which would minimize the difficulty of quickly escaping fossil fuels. Even if it means being accused of being a fatalist. On the contrary, some scientists like Hannah Ritchie prefer to stay optimist and spread a message of hope regarding the various crises we face. Introduction In the first half
