Storing carbon dioxide (CO 2) resulting from the burning of fossil fuels in geological
formations could be an environmentally appealing approach to mitigate the volume of …

Nanometre to micrometre scale interfacial processes control CO 2 mineralisation in silicate
rocks targeted for carbon sequestration. Understanding the chemical mechanisms prompted …

China is the second largest shale gas and oil producing country possessing large and
significant shale basins, and it is also one of the top carbon emitting countries. Therefore …

Precipitation or dissolution due to geochemical reactions has been observed in the caprocks
for CO2 geosequestration. Geochemical reactions modify the caprock sealing efficiency with …

The world's energy demands are growing at an unprecedented rate, and the exploration of
new hydrocarbon sources is more important than ever. Therefore, the objective of this study …

Swelling of shale in response to interaction with water is an important consideration within
subsurface energy systems. In the case of waste disposal, swelling can provide important …

This work systematically reviews the complex mechanisms of CO 2-water-rock interactions,
microscopic simulations of reactive transport (dissolution, precipitation and precipitate …

In contrast to thermal heating, the real-time heated rock exhibits significant nonlinearity
during the elastic deformation stage. Hence, an experiment assembled by a high and low …

CO 2 storage in carbonate aquifers is a way to mitigate atmospheric CO 2 emissions, but it
leads to acid-producing reactions that may induce alterations in the rock pore structure and …

Complex physical and chemical reactions during CO 2 sequestration alter the microscopic
pore structure of geological formations, impacting sequestration stability. To investigate CO …
