Induced seismicity remains a major challenge for deep geothermal operations, as for other underground activities such as CO₂ and H₂ storage or fluid injection.
Recent experience, both in France and internationally, should prompt stakeholders and experts to strengthen risk management approaches and structure project governance by incorporating technical, regulatory, and societal considerations.
Organized by Ineris and BRGM, this workshop aims to address these challenges in a context where practices vary widely depending on countries, project phase and development.
The workshop will feature presentations and panel discussions.
