Storage of energy and carbon dioxide in subsurface geological formations has been identified as key for future systems relying on renewable, zero carbon power and heat generation. All subsurface storage systems rely on the properties and integrity of the reservoir and its confining units under thermal, mechanical, hydraulic and chemical stress. Natural analogues have provided evidence for the feasibility of long-term containment of methane and carbon dioxide in geological formations and may offer similar insights for energy and heat storage.
This session addresses storage of fluids in geological systems at all scales, from laboratory experiments to full-scale storage projects. Individual studies, initiatives and active projects integrating elements of the storage chain are invited as well as field projects focused on geological storage. Managed aquifer recharge is also within focus if the stored water is used in an energy context.
Relevant topics include but are not limited to:
• Regional and local characterization of storage formations and their behaviour during injection and storage, including long-term response
• Identification and determination of key site parameters for energy storage, mechanisms for trapping and recovery efficiency
• Characterization of reservoir and cap-rocks and their fluid-flow properties with respect to hydrogen and carbon dioxide
• Evaluation of available infrastructure and injection strategies
• Geophysical and geochemical monitoring for safe and cost-efficient storage
• Coupling of different types of energy storage in a carbon neutral energy system
• Heat storage systems.
• Energy and carbon storage scenarios as pathways for a low carbon future
• Public perception of energy and carbon storage
Suitable contributions can address, but are not limited to:
• Field testing and experimental approaches aimed at characterizing the site, its key characteristics and the behaviour of the injected fluid.
• Studies of natural analogue sites and lessons learnt from them for site characterisation and monitoring techniques.
• Laboratory experiments investigating fluid-rock-interactions and potential issues arising from these
• Numerical modelling of injectivity, fluid migration, trapping efficiency and pressure response. Simulations of geochemical reactions, for evaluation of long-term mineralization potential.
