Develop enhanced services for expert users Launched in 2021 for a 4-year period, the platform can be useful in the Copernicus programme, partnering with Mercator Ocean Developing innovative solutions for eliminating potentially harmful pollutants Julie Lions Expert hydrogeochemist (DEPA/EVE) The H2020 Promisces project coordinated by BRGM is an ambitious and innovative part of the European Commission's Green Deal. It seeks to rein in the problem of air pollutants that spread throughout the environment, compromising the long-term availability of natural resources and re-usability in circular economies. Working with 27 partners across 9 countries, we're focusing our efforts on the water-soil-sediment chain to protect resources and ensure their long-term safety. BRGM will develop analytical methodologies for detecting perfluoroalkyls, or PFAS, in the environment, study their effects, and implement innovative remedies with commercial partners to treat contaminated groundwater and soil. BRGM will carry out 1 of 7 Promisces case studies on its plurimetric pilot lab, PRIME, located in Orléans. The experimental pilot will last two years. Success 2: Federal approval of OneWater - Eau Bien Commun programme OneWater is one of 4 projects that won approval in the call for PEPR proposals "OneWater wins approval as a 'PEPR exploration' in the Investments for the Future program." Investments for the Future OneWater program... 53 million euros in funding A 10-year program focused on 6 science and technology challenges to reconceptualize and improve water management as a common good. Two future PEPR proposals to be submitted by BRGM: SOUSSOL (subsoil common good), IRIMA (natural and technological risks) Success 3: Outstanding acceptance rate in ANR calls for proposals 8 projects accepted 56 pre-proposals submitted by BRGM in December 2020 14 projects approved in the general call for proposals 8 projects approved in bilateral programs (regional and international) 8 coordinated projects Total funding: 3.78 million euros

Focus 2: Leveraging BRGM expertise in public policy Success 1: Near-surface geothermal in Paris BRGM at work in a critical regional network Major project in France's most populous area Unique study area Population of 7 million 148 communes 800 km2 Energy demand >50 TWh/year 12 agents across 3 operations centres 1.

Mapped areas of near-surface geothermal potential in the Paris region Success 2: Sinkhole repair beneath a business in Saint-Étienne Emergency stabilisation of topsoil and building BRGM's response: works finished in under two months repairing a hole 15 m deep and 100 m2 in surface area Propping Filling the cavity Rehabilitating power grid and earthworks Repairing the foundations Success 3: Sustainable mineral exploitation BRGM partnering with industry 3 geological and mine studies working with French companies Goals: securing supply of mineral resources More sustainable and comprehensive exploitation. Complete redesign of www.mineralinfo.fr 10,000 visitors per month 20,000 page views per month French reference of choice for mineral resources Goals: offer rich, up-to-date data for individuals as well as companies to bring mineral resources to public attention Success 4: Going geothermal in the Caribbean 3D modelling of geothermal reservoirs on a volcanic island Energy Transition in the Caribbean is an Interreg initiative taking place in Guadeloupe for a two-year duration. Regional development of geothermal is one of the main aims of the project, and BRGM is making it a top priority to create a technical hub for exploring both deep and near-surface resources. BRGM is working to develop rapid, cost-effective, and bespoke approaches for Caribbean islands to determine and profile geothermal reservoirs. This is possible in large part thanks to geophysical tools developed to build new geothermometers and assess potential near-surface geothermal resources. Success 5: Risk management of karst sinkhole on Avenue Gaston Galloux in Orléans From assessing susceptibility to risk management Goals: 1. Creating an accurate geotechnical model 2. Creating a bespoke action plan along with assessment and susceptibility mapping 3. Geophysical feedback and adopting a multi-measured approach 4. Working with locals for integrated management of risk of karst sinkholes

Focus 3: Support a proactive policy of valorisation, innovation and transfer Success 1: Project Imagine2 awarded the EquipEx+ label Contributing to higher education and research in the Centre-Val de Loire region and promoting cooperation between research institutions. Imagine. Not a John Lennon song dug up in a geological exploration, rather a national structural action around large-scale scientific equipment. The Imagine2 project is an EquipEx in the 3rd Investing for the Future Programme. Coordinated by Cerege and supported by BRGM, it brings together 14 partners with the aim of offering a national multi-scale imaging platform for energy and environmental transition. As well as 10 million euros in subsidies and investments for equipment for BRGM or our partners in Orléans, this platform will also harness all the partners' existing equipment, thus giving us privileged access to hitherto inaccessible tools. Finally, Imagine2 will bolster the national and international foundations of BRGM platforms, both existing and under construction, including Prime, Plat'Inn, but especially Mimaroc, the 4D tomography platform which will be operational in March 2022. Success 2 - Winner of the 1st phase of the BHP Tailings Challenge (3 phases) Developing an innovative process to treat 50 million tonnes per year of mining residue from copper-ore processing Circular Mine Consortium 6 partners Phase 1 10 consortia retained out of 153 Phase 2 3 consortia will be selected BRGM positions itself as a key actor internationally in the reprocessing and recovery of mining waste

Focus 4: Strengthen the European and international strategy Success 1: 2 key geological infrastructure projects finalised in Cameroon and Malawi Encourage the development of strategic partnerships and promote the mining potential of Cameroon and Malawi In partnership with the small-scale mining sector Aims: 1. Develop geological knowledge of the areas, mineral resources and potential 2. Conduct natural-risk assessments 3. Strengthen technical and human capacity 4. Deliver dedicated logistic and scientific equipment 5. Train students and government representatives 6. Set up a geological and mining information system Success 2: Bring BRGM support to the Namibian government to combat drought 1st partnership with the French Development Agency (AFD) to step up capacity and the management of groundwater in Namibia A 450,000-euro contract was signed with the French Development Agency in July 2021. It pledges BRGM's support to the Namibian government in the fight against drought, and embodies the first stage of a very promising, wide-ranging partnership with the AFD. A related R&D initiative will also be conducted for this project. It involves developing a method of assessing the impact of climate change on water resources in dry environments. Alexis Gutierrez is the manager of this 2-year project. A water-resource forecasting map will be drawn up for the northern provinces of Omusati and Kunene, which are particular priorities for the Namibian government due to their large number of inhabitants and agricultural activities. Finally, I'd like to add that special emphasis was put on training government officers from the two ministries benefiting from this project, those for Water and the Environment. Seven week-long training courses will be given on the different areas of hydrogeology.

Focus 5: Develop a site and training policy in line with the scientific strategy Success 1: Deployment of the coastal risks and climate-change unit in Nouvelle Aquitaine Creation of a European centre of excellence on the coast Coastline management has become a key priority at BRGM, prompted by societal issues related to global changes. It is one of the 3 development priorities in our performance commitments and is based on the changes of the continental shelf-sea-land continuum, part of adapting our coastlines and making them more resilient. Firstly, by addressing natural and anthropic risks, such as the erosion or submersion of the coastline, and by assessing the resources and quality of coastal groundwater. In 2021, the BRGM decided to shift its coastal research centre from Orléans to Bordeaux. As a result, part of the coastline-risk and climate-change team, a group of 6 people from DRP, set up in Pessac, with the DAT Nouvelle-Aquitaine team, to work on a project that aims to create, with our research and institutional partners in Nouvelle-Aquitaine, a European centre of excellence for coastlines. Success 2: A Data Centre to pool resources and digital services for researchers and teachers One of the first Data Centres awarded the "regional data centre" label by the Ministry of Higher Education, Research and Innovation Aims: Pool technical resources and expertise to store, save and process data from higher-education institutions and research.
