H2DeepNL: Making digital rocks a practical reality for energy storage within subsurface reservoirs
Subsurface applications, such as hydrogen storage, are crucial to combat climate change. Novel digital tools, referred to as 鈥榙igital rock鈥� approaches can help to design these applications safely and sustainably. However, these rely on accurate digitalization methods. In this project, I aim for the development of digitalization workflows reflecting features at the smallest length scale in a representative manner. In large quantities, these small features may impact the characteristics of the entire reservoir and lead to unfavourable processes such as chemical and structural alteration. Their accurate determination is therefore essential to make 鈥榙igital rock鈥� a practical reality.
This project is funded by the DeepNL-NWO programme.
