This Friday, 7 April 2023, Ineris and the National Centre for Electrochemistry and Environmental Technologies (Centre National en Electrochimie et en Technologies Environmentales – CNETE) signed a framework partnership agreement for a period of five years. Building on their complementarities in the field of safe, clean technologies applied in particular to bioprocesses and electrochemistry, the French institute and the Canadian research centre have decided to collaborate in order to share their know-how and skills, ensure the complementarity of their respective test resources and more generally develop new approaches to the sustainable development of technologies applied to the energy transition and the circular economy.

Scheduled to run for five years, the partnership concluded between Ineris and CNETE (located in Quebec) provides an opportunity for both establishments to combine their know-how and resources through cross-disciplinary training of their staff in several areas:
– providing support in drawing up plans for the future CNETE battery test centre from a risk assessment perspective. For Ineris, this particularly involves ensuring complementarity using its own test resources;
– developing test resources and new technologies, particularly in the field of gas analysis;
– conducting test result comparison campaigns;
– developing research projects in the fields of electrochemistry (including testing batteries and materials for batteries) and processes, particularly bioprocesses.

About CNETE
CNETE is a Canadian centre charged with conducting applied research activities, as well as providing technical and informational support to businesses in order to contribute to the development and implementation of innovation projects and the development of new technological applications in the fields of bioprocessing, membrane separation technologies and electrochemistry.
Thanks to a team of experts in the fields of bioprocesses, membrane technology and environmental chemistry, as well as through close collaboration with a vast network of researchers with complementary expertise, including several teacher-researchers from the Shawinigan General and Vocational College (Collège d'enseignement général et professionnel – Cégep), CNETE intends to become a key player in the improvement of environmentally-friendly processes and products in order to support Québécois companies and the economic diversification of the Mauricie region.
