Seep biogeochemistry & organic geochemistry
The geological storage of CO2 is a promising means to help reduce the emissions of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere during the energy transition stages (e.g., Raza et al., 2022). Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is one of the essential technologies required to achieve global temperature rise limitations (IPCC, 2022) by contributing to the mitigation of carbon emissions from energy and industrial plants during the transition and is furthermore expected to support direct CO2 removal from the atmosphere on a longer timescale (Snaebjörnsdóttir et al., 2020).

Storage of CO2 in geological formations depends on a combination of physical and chemical mechanisms such as physical trapping below caprocks or trapping by dissolution in groundwater. The most effective storage mechanism is the permanent mineralisation of CO2 by conversion into carbonate minerals (Benson et al. , 2005).

A major aim of reactive flow models in CCS activities is to understand and predict the evolution of the CO2 plume injected in the reservoir for planning and monitoring purposes (e. g. Jenkins et al. , 2015).
