Etude du stockage de H2 dans des formations géologiques adaptées

The Department of Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) has a requirement to conduct research on the examination of H2 storage and trapping at pore-scale scales within geologic formations.The results will help guide the design and regulation of H2 storage in geological formations (e.g updating CSA - Canadian Standards Association) Z341). The initiative will provide both policymakers and the industry insight into the risks and requirements for the safe storage of H2 across Canada.The proposed procurement of services will be a part of a joint research collaboration between the Geological Survey of Canada (GSC) and Department of Earth Science and Engineering (ESE) research groups of the Imperial College of London (ICL).The work will involve the following:H2 trapping and interaction with the host formation.Storage capacity estimation based on the type of formation and formation fluids.Buoyancy-driven flow and leakage of the stored H2.
