Funded Activity Summary
Integrated facility for underground hydrogen storage research. The aim is to establish a state-of-the-art national research facility for hydrogen flow in porous media. Large amounts of underground hydrogen storage (UHS) capacity is available in depleted hydrocarbon reservoirs and saline aquifers. Hydrogen injection into geological formations can trigger geochemical and geomechanical processes that damage reservoirs and breach their integrity and seal capacity. UHS modelling is necessary to understand the governing mechanisms throughout storage–withdrawal cycles. The LIEF facility will enable site-specific experiments on hydrogen flow in porous media. This will enable Australia to make technological breakthroughs in critical areas of the economy, such as clean energy.Funded Activity Details
