Seminar "Pilot-scale studies for clean, sustainable energy production: focus on gaseous and particulate emissions".
As part of the scientific leadership of LAMIH's mécanique department, a seminar will be held by Gontrand LEYSSENS, Professor at the Laboratoire Gestion des Risques et Environnement (LGRE) at the Université de Haute-Alsace.
This seminar will take place on Thursday 14/03/2024 at 2pm in room 012S building AB1.

Summary:
At present, taking into account the entire life cycle of the various energy production channels, none of them can be considered to be without environmental and/or health impacts. The only energy that has no environmental impact is the one we don't consume.
All the pollutants emitted during energy production have an impact on health and the environment. The assessment of outdoor air quality in France in 2022 confirms that air quality is improving in line with the reduction in pollutant emissions.
All the pollutants emitted during energy production have an impact on health and the environment.
This progress follows the implementation over several years of strategies and action plans in various sectors of activity. However, even though levels of pollutants in the air are falling, regulatory air quality thresholds set for the protection of human health are still being exceeded, particularly for ozone, nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and particulate matter with a diameter less than or equal to 10 μm (PM10).
These improvements are the result of several years' implementation of strategies and action plans in various sectors of activity.
In this presentation, we will discuss through the use of the various pilots implemented within the LGRE, how it is possible to reduce gaseous and particulate emissions during energy production. These developments involve either the improvement of existing technologies (solid fossil fuel combustion, biomass combustion, etc.) or the study of new technologies such as metal combustion. We will conclude with a discussion of current limitations and technical hurdles.
