Internship – Environmental Philosophy and Fugitive Emissions – F/M

Be part of the solution at Technip Energies and embark on a one-of-a-kind journey. You will be helping to develop cutting-edge solutions to solve real-world energy problems.

About us:

Technip Energies is a global technology and engineering powerhouse. With leadership position in LNG, hydrogen, ethylene, sustainable chemistry, and CO2 management, we are contributing to the development of critical markets such as energy, energy derivatives, decarbonization, and circularity. Our complementary business segments, Technology, Products and Services (TPS) and Project Delivery, turn innovation into scalable and industrial reality.

Through collaboration and excellence in execution, our 17,000+ employees across 34 countries are fully committed to bridging prosperity with sustainability for a world designed to last.

About the mission we offer you:

The internship will focus on two topics:

Topic 1: Development of a methodology for quantifying and reducing fugitive emissions from PIDs for an industrial project

Context:

In the context of energy transition and the fight against climate change, it is essential to assess the overall carbon footprint of a project from the design phase onwards, taking into account all sources of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

Among these sources, fugitive emissions (mainly from equipment such as valves, flanges, fittings, pumps, and compressors) represent a significant portion of the carbon footprint of an industrial facility, particularly in the oil, gas, and chemical sectors.

These emissions can be estimated from engineering documents, in particular PIDs (Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams), which list all equipment and potential leak points. This approach also provides an opportunity to optimize the design to reduce these emissions at source, thereby contributing to a more favorable carbon footprint for the project.

Internship objectives:

• Methodology development: establish a systematic procedure for counting leakage points based on PIDs, drawing on existing standards (EPA, EN 15446, etc.).
• Quantification of emissions: apply standard emission factors to estimate the total fugitive emissions of a project based on the count performed.
• Calculation tool: develop a tool (Excel or other) to facilitate the identification, calculation, and traceability of emissions based on PIDs.
• Proposed design improvements: Analyze the results and propose a strategy for reducing fugitive emissions from the earliest design stages.

Topic 2: Development of standard environmental philosophies for industrial projects, based on European BATs.

Context:

The integration of environmental requirements from the design phase of an industrial project is essential to ensure regulatory compliance and limit the environmental footprint of facilities.

BAT (Best Available Techniques), defined in the European BREFs (Best Available Techniques Reference Documents), form the basis of European environmental requirements for each industrial sector.

Technip Energies works with a variety of clients in different industrial sectors, which requires adapting each environmental philosophy to the context of the project.

The drafting of a standard "environmental philosophy," adaptable to each BAT, would ensure a consistent and structured approach for each new project, while facilitating communication with stakeholders (authorities, clients, project teams).

Internship objectives:

• Analysis of European BREFs/BATs: review the main BREFs applicable to Technip Energies' sectors of activity (refining, chemicals, hydrogen, etc.).
• Identify key requirements: extract the major environmental requirements to be integrated into the design for each BAT (air emissions, water management, waste, energy, noise, etc.), create a summary presentation for each BAT to present the context, main requirements, and key indicators.
• Study of environmental philosophies drafted by Technip Energies for various projects.
• Drafting of standard environmental philosophies: formalize, for each BAT, a standard document summarizing environmental requirements.
• Formatting and harmonization: propose a standardized format that is easy for environmental engineers to use and adaptable to different projects.
• Promotion and dissemination: presentation of standard philosophies to the HSED team.

During this internship, you will be supported by a mentor who will answer any questions you may have.

Starting Date : February or March 2026 

Duration : 6 months
