Resources and uses of the subsurface in the energy transition: video replay of the conference

In partnership with the CNRS, the Avenia cluster, IFP Énergies Nouvelles and ADEME, BRGM co-organised the 2022 edition of the conference on “Resources and uses of the subsurface in the energy transition”. The event took place on 27 and 28 September at the Cité des Sciences in Paris.

In what way can the subsurface contribute to the energy transition?
What opportunities can the energy transition provide for the subsurface?
What are the issues associated with surface/subsurface interaction?

The conference brought together all the stakeholders (local authorities, institutions, civil society, researchers, etc.) with an interest in how the subsurface can contribute to the necessary ecological transition. The conference sought to provide answers concerning the legitimacy of the various subsurface engineering activities and the conditions for implementing projects in France.
