The environmental and energy solutions trade fair
The Pollutec trade fair is known to be the most important event for environmental professionals. It is also a showcase for environmental solutions for industry, cities and regions, and a springboard for market innovations and international development.
BRGM will be welcoming the public on Stand H4-F018
On its stand, BRGM will be showcasing its know-how in water resource management, the energy transition, climate-related risks and adaptation to climate change, waste management, the circular economy and remediation of polluted sites.
BRGM conferences at Pollutec 2023
Water resource management and climate change - Reinserting management of the small cycle into that of the large cycle
“Water and Sanitation Forum” – Tuesday 10 October, 2.05 pm - 2.45 pm
Feedback on actual cases such as the development of urban greening, aquifer recharging, infiltration of rainwater into plots of land, the reuse of waste water, the transition of urban and peri-urban agricultural practices, etc.
Conference organised by BRGM
CO2 storage, a solution for regions
“Energy” forum – Tuesday 10 October, 3.55 pm - 4.40 pm
Why define a CO2 storage strategy at the regional level? To meet which needs? Under what technical and economic conditions, given a region's potential? How can we take account of the related societal issues?
Conference organised by BRGM
Wind turbines, batteries and other objects of the energy transition - future harnessing of waste for regions
Circular Economy forum – Wednesday 11 October, 10.25 am - 11.10 am
Energy transition requirements are one of the critical points for the widespread deployment of renewable energies and low-carbon technologies.

Combining geothermal energy and storage of CO2: the “CO2-Dissolved” project, by BRGM and SLB
“Energy” forum – Wednesday 11 October, 11.20 am - 12.05 pm
The “CO2-Dissolved” project is investigating the storing of dissolved CO2 in saline aquifers close to industrial emission sources. This is a very promising solution, suitable for small emitters and complementary to bulk storage.

Agility for the subsurface: joint innovations by start-ups and BRGM
In the Arena – Wednesday 11 October, 11.45 am - 12.15 pm
Faced with the challenges of climate change and taking into account the notion of responsibility and conflicting demands, for resources in particular, a number of players are developing innovations that combine models, skills and different perspectives for hybrid solutions. BRGM will be presenting innovations that it has developed jointly with start-ups to make the most of their respective strengths. Better characterise the subsurface through on-site analyses, provide better information to cities for urban planning and for tracing materials to guarantee their origin: 3 innovations to meet our current challenges – which might well serve as examples.
Conference organised by BRGM
Renaturation and refunctionalisation of soils
“Sustainable cities and regions” forum – Wednesday 11 October, 2.05 pm - 2.50 pm
BRGM is involved in a number of projects involving the reconstruction and refunctionalisation of soils, actions that take on even greater significance with the Zero Net Artificialisation Act (ZAN - Zéro Artificialisation Nette) and the problems of renaturation and re-infiltration of water in urban environments. This is now an important strategic objective for partnership with local and regional authorities.
Conference organised by BRGM
Coastal adaptation and nature-based mitigation solutions for coastal hazards
Bluetec Sea and Coastline forum – Wednesday 11 October, 3.00 pm - 3.45 pm
Panel discussion on the results of the ADAPTO project, initiated by the French coastal protection agency (Conservatoire du Littoral) with the aim of exploring solutions to marine erosion and flooding in natural coastal areas in the context of increasing climate change, which is reflected in rising sea levels and more frequent extreme weather events. Adapto is testing flexible management of the coastline at 10 pilot sites, that are predominantly natural and agricultural. It helps to demonstrate the ecological and economic benefits of improving the resilience of coastal areas to protect human activities by restoring mobility to the coastline.
Conference organised by BRGM
Traceability of Waste / Excavated earth and the AGEC Act - The National Waste Register (RNDTS - Registre national des déchets) and the Trackdéchets platform
Circular Economy forum – Thursday 12 October, 1.10 pm -1.55 pm
The management of excavated soil and waste has undergone a number of changes in recent months, with the deployment of several tools designed to facilitate the monitoring of flows and enable them to be traced. The aim of the conference is to make it easier for local and regional authorities, project owners and professionals to adopt this approach.
Conference organised by BRGM
Houses exposed to clay shrinkage and swelling - Prevention and building in a context of global change
Risk Management Forum – Thursday 12 October, 3 pm - 3.45 pm
Conference with open discussion: - Understanding and knowledge - Prevention: information, regulations and intervention techniques - Insurers' perspective
Conference organised by BRGM
Decarbonising the energy and construction sectors
Sustainable cities and regions forum – Thursday 12 October, 3.55 pm - 4.40 pm
Round table discussion on the deployment of geothermal energy in the construction and housing sectors.
