Since then, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has tirelessly warned of the need to switch to a carbon-free paradigm.

    The world's climate and health problems call for the emergence of this new carbon-free paradigm, from which thermal energy production machines dedicated to mobility and stationary power units are no exception. It's time to put a stop to the deleterious use of hydrocarbons, and to detoxify, knowing that the trend...
