CO2SS research on site qualification making international impact

/ June 7, 2024

In an article published this week in the International Journal of Greenhouse Gas Control, one of the most relevant journals on the topic of “decarbonization” and rated at the highest level by the Qualis CAPES system, José Wilker Lima, a PhD student under Prof. Gustavo Oliveira, introduced, for the first time, a family of generalized mathematical models for qualifying CO2 storage sites. The methodology creates a series of indicators based on the fundamental properties of reservoirs and weighting functions that take into account the distance

CO2SS research presented at the XXVII International Congress of Mechanical Engineering in Florianópolis, Brazil

/ December 8, 2023

The XXVII International Congress of Mechanical Engineering – COBEM took place from December 4th to 8th, 2023, in Florianópolis city, Brazil. Members of the co2ss project presented research focusing on qualifying sites for CO2 storage and experiments related to dissolution patterns in interfaces exhibiting behaviors akin to CO2/brine. Two specific papers were showcased: “Distance-to-Trap Weighting Functions for Selection and Ranking of CO2 Storage Sites,” presented by Prof. Gustavo Oliveira from the Northeast team, and “Convective Patterns in Hele-Shaw Flows Driven by Density Gradients and Chemical
