The Institute has recently taken part in 2 working group meetings:
The 62nd meeting of the Working Group on Strategies and Review (WGSR) and the 53rd annual meeting of the Task Force on Integrated Assessment Modelling (TFIAM) of the Air Convention*, co-chaired by Ineris since this year.

Ineris announces the nomination of Didier Gay as Director of Strategy,
scientific policy, and communication, effective as of 2 May 2024.

Ineris, as a member of the French Central Laboratory for Monitoring Air Quality (Laboratoire central de surveillance de la qualité de l'air – LCSQA), took part in a European interlaboratory comparison (ILC) exercise organised recently by the JRC (Joint Research Centre/European Commission Centre for Scientific Research) for the measurement of gaseous inorganic pollutants (carbon monoxide [CO], nitrogen oxides [NOx], sulphur dioxide [SO2] and ozone [O3]).

On 20 March 2024, the European consortium met for the official launch of the FrHyGe* project, supported and funded by the European Union through the Clean Hydrogen Partnership. This 43 M€ project aims to validate the underground storage of hydrogen in salt caverns on an industrial scale. The project will allow the deployment of an industrial demonstrator in Manosque, France, as well as the replication study on the Harsefeld site in Germany and more widely at a European scale.

Ineris is a partner of the European IMAGHyNE (Investments to Maximise the Ambition for Green Hydrogen iN Europe) project, which officially launched on 12 February 2024. Here we take a closer look at Ineris’ expertise in safety, which was of particular relevance to this project.

Ineris recently visited Egypt to consolidate the support provided in 2019 to the Egyptian Environmental Affairs Agency (EEAA) to better understand the sources of air pollution in Cairo, based on the analysis of the chemical composition of particulate matter.

Ineris is partner of the European RFCS project: Ecological rehabilitation and long-term monitoring of post mining areas

Ineris is a member of the new REMINDNET (Recovery of Mining District Network) European network for post-mining management in Europe. It brings together experts and researchers in the different post-mining fields (geologists, economists, engineers, environmental and social science specialists, metallurgists, legal representatives, etc.) in order to consolidate and promote exchanges of knowledge.

The institute attended the Mine Closure 2023 conference, which was held from 3–6 October in Reno, Nevada (USA).
This international event gathered experts, researchers and industrialists to deliberate on technical, regulatory and organisational advancements in connection with post-mining management in different mining basins around the world, in a context of sustainable mining operations concerned with their societal, economic and environmental impacts.

Ineris is hosting European inter-laboratory comparisons (ILC) on its emission test bench from 18 to 22 September.
