GDR2026 Gas Hydrates Days

IFP School took part in the “Gas Hydrates” Days, organized by the CNRS Hydrates Research Group (GDR) in partnership with the University of Lille. The event took place from December 3 to 5, 2024 in Lille, bringing together academic experts, researchers and industrialists to discuss gas hydrates, a topic at the heart of today's energy challenges.

The event provided an opportunity for a wide-ranging exchange of views on emerging processes and technological applications related to gas hydrates, with key topics including:

  • Gas storage and transportation,
  • Capture and separation of gaseous or liquid effluents,
  • Treatment of salt water (desalination) and leachates,
  • Thermal and refrigeration applications.

On this occasion, Mohamad Abdallah, a lecturer at IFP School's Processes for Energy and Chemistry center, presented his research work on X-ray micro-tomography analysis of natural gas hydrates crystals formed in the presence of anti-agglomerant additives.

Congratulations to the authors and co-authors, whose work contributes to a better understanding of the complex interactions between gas hydrates and commercial anti-agglomerant additives (Low Dosage Hydrate Inhibitors LDHI), with promising applications in energy and gas transport: Mohamad Abdallah, Anne Sinquin, Maxime Pélerin, Thibaud Chevalier, Emilie Abadie, Arnaud Desmedt, Nicolas Lesage and Annie Fidel-Dufour.

The School’s participation in this scientific congress shows its commitment to developing innovative technologies to meet energy and environmental challenges.
