Box-Size Numerical Modelling of Hydrogen Migration and Trapping: Testing bio-chemical sinks

By Tiago Cunha & Marianne Nuzzo

MARUM - Centre for Marine Environmental Sciences, University of Bremen, Germany

Javier García-Pintado & Marta Pérez-Gussinyé

We introduced the usage of a box-size numerical model of miscible multiphase flow, with explicit advection and diffusion in both the liquid and gas phases, to model the migration and…

Mechanisms and advantages of CO2 storage in basalt reservoirs

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).

Molecule of the Month - Gammacerane

This unusual hopane-like compound is recognised together with the hopanes in the m/z 191 mass chromatogram and was for many years used as a biomarker of hypersalinity due to its common high abundance in sediments deposited under such conditions.   However, a key paper by Sinninghe-Damsté et al.
