| Abstract | A key challenge for the success of underground carbon storage is development of technology to ensure that the gas will not slowly leak back to the surface over hundreds or thousands of years. This research focuses on understanding how carbon dioxide interacts with underground rocks and fluids, potentially changing their structure and allowing leakage pathways to form. By improving this understanding, the project aims to make underground carbon storage more reliable and effective. The project is |
