Assessment of Subsurface Storage of CO2 and Hydrogen with help of Microfluidics Experiments and Modeling to Evaluate Associated Risks

 

Project no.: S-PD-24-113

Project description:

Conference Paper 1
Title: Presentation of the experimental design for the initial microfluidics experiments.
Content: Detailed methodologies and setup for simulating subsurface conditions, aiming to provide insights into the experimental framework that supports the risk assessment of CO2 and hydrogen storage.
Planned Presentation: EAGE GET 2025
Journal Paper 1
Title: Findings from the microfluidics experiments.
Content: Comprehensive analysis of geochemical changes, such as alterations in pore structure, mineral deposition, and their impacts on geomechanical properties. This paper will elucidate how these changes affect the integrity and safety of subsurface storage.
Planned Submission: December 2025
Conference Paper 2
Title: Workflow Integration of Experimental Data into Models
Content: This presentation will cover the methodologies for integrating experimental data into our models, including the design philosophy and workflow processes.
Planned Presentation: ECMOR 2026
Journal Paper 2
Title: Long-Term Impact of Hydrogen and CO2 Storage: Geomechanical and Geochemical Models
Content: This paper will discuss the outcomes of our comprehensive models, quantifying the long-term impacts of subsurface hydrogen and CO2 storage, and projecting potential leakage scenarios.
Planned Submission: September 2026
