Science of Carbon Storage in Deep Saline Formations: Process Coupling Across Time and Spatial Scales

Science of Carbon Storage in Deep Saline Formations: Process Coupling Across Time and Spatial Scales summarizes state-of-the-art research, emphasizing how the coupling of physical and chemical processes as subsurface systems re-equilibrate during and after the injection of CO2. In addition, it addresses, in an easy-to-follow way, the lack of knowledge in understanding the coupled processes related to fluid flow, geomechanics and geochemistry over time and spatial scales. The book uniquely highlights process coupling and process interplay across time and spatial scales that are relevant to geological carbon storage. Includes the underlying scientific research, as well as the risks associated with geological carbon storageCovers the topic of geological carbon storage from various disciplines, addressing the multi-scale and multi-physics aspects of geological carbon storageOrganized by discipline for ease of navigation INDICE: Part I: Individual Physical Processes across Spatial and Time Scales Geochemical processes at angstrom to km scales  2.
