Hydrogen Geological Storage – Research Opportunities
An Institute of Advanced Studies Masterclass
HGS has been identified a critical step for energy transition from fossil-based systems to renewable sources. Large-scale HGS offers the capacity to deal with the imbalance between intermittent supply of those energy sources and varying demand for energy. However, the effectiveness and risks of HGS are not understood.
This IAS Masterclass will examine some of these challenges and opportunities.
Presenters: Professor Derek Elsworth, Professor Wancheng Zhu, Professor Enzhi Wang and Professor Quan Gan.
Hydrogen Geological Storage in Depleted Unconventional Fields
Professor Derek Elsworth, G. Albert Shoemaker Chair and Professor, Center for Geomechanics, Geofluids, and Geohazards, Penn State University.
Hydrogen Geological Storage in Mined Voids
Professor Wancheng Zhu, Center for Rock Instability and Seismicity Research (CRISR), Department of Mining Engineering, Northeastern University.
The Role of AI in Underground Space
