Ineris' role in the project
Leveraging its expertise in post-mining operations, Ineris will play a central role in developing the methodology for establishing the inventory and estimating methane emissions from former coal mines by leading the dedicated work package. The Institute will also contribute to the design and testing of innovative sensors and measurement tools adapted to different types of emitting structures (shafts, galleries, boreholes, etc.). It will also contribute to the work and proposals for data centralization, drawing on its experience in developing and operating web-based monitoring systems (https://cenaris.ineris.fr platform).
This project is coordinated by GIG (Central Mining Institute, Poland) and brings together the following partners: KOMAG: (Institute of Mining Technology, Poland), UMONS (University of Mons, Belgium), THGA (Technische Hochschule Georg Agricola, Germany), VUHU (Brown Coal Research Institute, Czech Republic), IMG-PAN (Institute of Mineral and Energy Economy, Polish Academy of Sciences, Poland), ISSEP (Scientific Institute of Public Service, Belgium), POLTEGOR (Poltegor-Institute, Poland) and Ineris.
