Transition from Fossil Fuels to Mineral Resources: An Inventory of Mineral Resources

​

What are mineral resources? What are the uses of mineral resources (focus on art)? Where do mineral resources come from? What are the constraints? What is the response at the European level? How will the subsoil of France, and even globally, evolve? Sébastien Jaffrot will present a national inventory of mineral resources. A judicious combination of art and science will accompany this presentation.

​

After training in Geo-resources, Water and Environment, and studies in Civil Engineering, Sébastien Jaffrot has been heavily involved in the world of minerals. A graduate of IHEST, he is currently the Managing Director of BRGM Explore, a subsidiary of BRGM. From 2018 to 2024, he was Deputy Director of the Natural Hazards and Prevention Department at BRGM, following experience in companies, industry, and consulting firms.
