Summary
Impact of geochemical alteration on carbon dioxide stability in the subsurface. This project aims to investigate the reactive behaviour of carbon dioxide in sandstone rocks to improve the safety of carbon sequestration operations. The project will develop new techniques to link fluid flow behaviour and geochemistry analysis, using high resolution 3D microscopy within geologic samples. The results will demonstrate the level of stability and security of carbon dioxide in underground sandstone rock ....Impact of geochemical alteration on carbon dioxide stability in the subsurface.
