New energy security With its extensive experience in managing risks in industrial systems and sites, INERIS supports the clean and safe development of new energy technologies at the production, storage, transport and use stages. In line with France's commitment to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, France has embarked on an energy transition that involves replacing fossil fuels with carbon-free energies or energies from "biogenic" carbon and localising the production of these energies within the country (where possible) and sometimes as close as possible to consumers.These different technologies give rise to new specific risks that must be taken into account. Upstream risk assessment makes it possible to develop safer processes and more efficient products, anticipate failures and avoid exposing populations to risky situations.To build up its expertise in assessing the risks of new and future industrial systems using new technologies for the production, storage and transport/distribution of energy of various capacities, INERIS conducts research as part of national and European projects, or as part of innovation projects with industrial partners. This expertise is used to support public policy and develop national and international standards, in order to improve the technical aspects of safety regulations and advise industrialists involved in this transition.The Institute responds to changing safety needs through its experimental approach, using laboratory tests and the development and evaluation of numerical models of hazardous processes and phenomena, through to the implementation of unique large-scale testing facilities. The safety of these technologies can thus be studied as closely as possible to real-life conditions.
