Convective mixing in geological storage of CO₂

16th June 2016

Topic(s): Carbon capture, use and storage (CCUS)

Convective mixing of CO₂ in saline aquifers is an important physical process that can significantly increase the amount of CO₂ that is securely trapped in the aquifer. This process happens on a relatively small length scale, and as such, is difficult to accurately model in numerical simulations of geological storage on CO₂.

In this webinar, Christopher Green and Jonathan Ennis-King, from CSIRO Energy presented an overview of Convective mixing of CO₂ in geological storage and discuss the state-of-the art research into this interesting phenomenon.

Here is a recording of the webinar and a browsable version of the slides used in the presentation:
