PEPR sous-sol - Projet Ciblé "Fossé Rhénan"

EOST, ITES and BRGM are bringing together 17 research partners to develop a strategy for the safe exploitation of the subsoil in the production of energy (heat/electricity) and associated co-products in a key region combining local energy transition issues and societal acceptance, the Rhine Graben.

PEPR = "Programme et Equipement Prioritaires de Recherche" - Priority Research Programmes and Equipment

Within the "directed" section of France 2030, known as "Financing strategic investments", one action is dedicated to the financing of fundamental research.

PEPRs aim to build and consolidate French leadership in scientific fields that are linked or likely to be linked to technological, economic, societal, health or environmental change, and that are considered priorities at national or European level.

The PEPR "sous-sol" - subsoil is one of the awarded project and will run from March 2023 to February 2030. This PEPR is subdivided in 13 PCs "Projets ciblés" - Targated projects. Among which, PC9 correspond to the Rhine Graben targeted project. For more information go to the official website.
