Without remorse, fossil fuels have made a huge contribution to global development in all of its forms. However, the recent scientific outlooks are currently shifting as more research is targeted towards promoting carbon-free economy addition use electric power from renewable sources. While energy sources may be solution anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions fuel they yet season-dependent faced with major atmospheric drawbacks which when combined annually varying, but steady, demand, results excesses or deficits. Therefore, it essential devise long-term storage medium balance their intermittent demand and supply. Hydrogen (H2) an vector has been suggested viable method achieving objectives meeting increasing demand. successful implementation full-scale H2 requires large-scale (as highly compressible). As such, geological formations considered potential where can withdrawn again at larger stage for utilization. Thus, this review, we focus on underground hydrogen (UHS) both conventional non-conventional UHS options were examined depth. Also, insights into some probable sites, related criteria selection highlighted. The hydrodynamics influencing factors (including solid, fluid, solid–fluid interactions) summarized exclusively. In addition, economics reaction perspectives inherent examined. findings study show that UHS, like other systems, still infancy. Further needed address significant hurdles gaps found, particularly replaceable parameters. result, valuable resource researchers.

The oxidation of fossil fuels produces billions tons anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from stationary and nonstationary sources per annum, contributing to global warming. natural cycle consumes a portion CO2 the atmosphere. In contrast, substantial accumulate, making it largest contributor greenhouse gas causing rise in planet's temperature. Earth's temperature was estimated be 1 °C higher 2017 compared mid-twentieth century. A solution this problem is storage underground formations, abundant throughout world. Millions are stored into geological formations annually, including deep saline aquifers. However, these have minute concentrations organic material, significantly influencing containment security, fluid dynamics, potential. Examining wetting characteristics parameters pertinent understanding supercritical behavior rock/brine systems. Wettability an important parameter governing ability injected displace formation water determine security capacity. Previously, many studies provided comprehensive overviews CO2-wettability depending on various factors, such as pressure, temperature, salinity, type, surfactants, chemicals. mineral surfaces wettability chemically cleaned, conditions anoxic (containing molecules) where reductive ensue. severe gap exists literature comprehend effects material for determining capacities how effect can reversed using nanomaterial increased Therefore, we conducted thorough review recent advances rock/CO2/brine rock/oil/brine systems containing different geo-storage formations. We also present that employed reversal more water-wet.

Hydrogen future depends on large-scale storage, which can be provided by geological formations (such as caverns, aquifers, and depleted oil gas reservoirs) to handle demand supply changes, a typical hysteresis of most renewable energy sources. Amongst them, natural reservoirs are the cost-effective secure solutions due their wide geographic distribution, proven surface facilities, less ambiguous site evaluation. They also require cushion native residual gases serve buffer for pressure maintenance during storage. However, there is lack thorough understanding this technology. This work aims provide comprehensive insight technical outlook into hydrogen storage in reservoirs.

Hydrogen (H2) is currently considered a clean fuel to decrease anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions and will play vital role in climate change mitigation. Nevertheless, one of the primary challenges achieving complete H2 economy large-scale storage H2, which unsafe on surface because highly compressible, volatile, flammable. geological formations could be potential solution this problem abundance such their high capacities. Wettability plays critical displacement formation water determines containment safety, capacity, amount trapped (or recovery factor). However, no comprehensive review article has been published explaining wettability conditions. Therefore, focuses influence various parameters, as salinity, temperature, pressure, roughness, type, and, consequently, storage.

Underground hydrogen (H2) storage (UHS) and carbon dioxide (CO2) geo-storage (CGS) are prominent methods of meeting global energy needs enabling a low-carbon economy. The pore-scale distribution, reservoir-scale capacity, containment security H2 CO2 significantly influenced by interfacial properties, including the equilibrium contact angle (θE) solid-liquid solid-gas tensions (γSL γSG). However, due to technical constraints experimentally determining these parameters, they often calculated based on advancing receding values. There is scarcity θE, γSL, γSG data, particularly related structural sealing potential caprock, which unavailable in literature. Young's equation Neumann's state were combined this study theoretically compute three parameters (θE, γSG) at reservoir conditions for potential. Pure mica, organic-aged alumina nano-aged mica substrates investigated explore rock wetting phenomena caprock. results reveal that θE increases while decreases with increasing pressure, organic acid concentration, alkyl chain length. temperatures gas, vice versa CO2. In addition, γSL decrease, whereas nanofluid concentration from 0.05 0.25 wt%. Conversely, increase, 0.75 wettability (a proxy caprock) was generally less than similar physio-thermal conditions. data reported crucial predicting caprock alterations resulting capacity UHS CGS.
