Teréga and the UPPA are to cement their ongoing research and innovation partnership through the creation of a shared laboratory

The mass storage of energy, allowing the largescale integration of intermittent renewable energies into the gas mix, is one component of the energy transition. Analysis of the new gases which are more decarbonised than methane from fossil sources, and assessment of their geological storage potential, are part of a whole area of strategic research for the future, requiring an interdisciplinary approach. Co-led by Teréga and the University of Pau and the Pays de l’Adour, SEnGA aims to:

• become a top location for discussions about the geological storage of decarbonised gases by pooling the UPPA’s scientific know-how and Teréga’s expertise as an innovative and responsible actor in gas infrastructures, and to centralise human, financial and technical resources;

• to gather together researchers working at the various UPPA laboratories in a diversity of disciplines such as processes, analytical chemistry, fluid mechanics, geology and microbiology, enabling access to complementary skills;

• to provide the keys to understanding and in time developing solutions for the optimal management of decarbonised gases and their storage.
