EAGE (European Association of Geoscientists and Engineers)’s Post

What was your favorite paper from the Stanford University Geothermal Workshop last month? It’s exciting to hear how others are exploring new technologies and techniques in academic papers. Our favorite subject, microseismic monitoring, is the topic of two papers that were presented at the 2024 Stanford Geothermal Workshop. One titled “Microseismic Monitoring of a Horizontal EGS System: Case Study and State of the Art” lead by Fervo Energy with authors Sireesh Dadi, Jack Norbeck, Aleksei Titov, Travis Payeur, Sean Machovoe, Kaven Joern, & Kanu Chinaemerem; and one titled “Microseismicity Observation and Characterization at Cape Modern and Utah FORGE” lead by Berkeley Lab with authors Nori Nakata, Sin-Mei Wu, Chet Hopp, Michelle Robertson & Sireesh Dadi. Were these your favorite papers too? #geothermaleverywhere #microseismic #egs #geothermal #monitoring #characterizing #academicwriting 

Congratulations to Hadi Hajibeygi. On 12 December last year, he was appointed professor in Geo-Energy Solid and Fluid Mechanics at TU Delft. “My goal is to enable the biggest battery under our feet and upgrade it to a geo-reactor, where you do not only store, but also mix, create and extract what you need in a green world!” 🔋 Hadi is working on storing green energy carriers, such as hydrogen, safely and effectively in the subsurface reservoirs. This research also enables safe and effective gigaton storage of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide; and effective geothermal heat production. Hadi: “To successfully achieve these, our scientific understanding of the subsurface solid and fluid mechanics needs to be significantly advanced, specially to reduce uncertainties, which is the core of my scientific research.” Read his Story of Science 'The largest battery ever is just under our feet' 👉 https://lnkd.in/eEagMV62 #Geosciences #Subsurface #Hydrogen #Energytransition #ClimateAction

Excited to share our publication in Scientific Reports by Nature on the techno-economics of enhanced geothermal systems across the continental United States. Our techno-economic modeling was based on a high spatio-temporal resolution of 18 km2 and hourly timesteps. This involved coupling our Stanford thermal Earth model and #FGEM techno-economics tool, and using Grant Buster's Sup3rCC model for weather forecasts. We considered scenarios with baseline/advanced drilling costs based on the recent drilling improvements by Fervo Energy. You can also access the model via our interactive ArcGIS page, and read our published article for more details. See links below. Special thanks to Prof. Roland Horne for his guidance and support.

#Unlocking the #New #Energy: How Monitoring Technologies are Enabling #Underground #Hydrogen #Storage! 🔋🌍   Did you know that #monitoring #technologies would be one of the pillars to enable underground hydrogen storage, informing and driving policy and regulation development?   This December, American Geophysical Union 2024 returns to Washington, D.C. with the theme “What’s Next for Science.” Working with Dr Stanislav Glubokovskikh from Berkeley Lab, and Prof Manika Prasad from Colorado School of Mines, we are inviting you from diverse geoscience disciplines to discuss the latest advancements and challenges in imaging hydrogen behaviour in-situ, with the emphasis on: 💡 Monitoring UHS in porous rocks and salt caverns 💡 Differences/similarities between monitoring UHS, CCS and natural gas storages 💡 Quantification of the biogeochemical reactions 💡 Imaging fluids mixing zones   🔔 What are your thoughts in these areas? How do you see it impacting UHS technology development and regulations?" 🌍Let’s discuss! Share your insights with an #abstract through the link below. https://lnkd.in/gnKaqCbZ #HydrogenEnergy #SustainableFuture #EnergyInnovation #TechDevelopment"

I'm really glad to share that our recent work "Time-Series Based Surrogate Model For Wind Farm Performance Prediction" has been published this week. 🚀 This work is one of the potential applications that are possible due an advanced in-house digital framework. This framework includes high-end tools that enables the exploration of different scenarios at a wind farm level, with a relative fast and low computational cost compared to state-of-the-art aeroelastic codes. This technology advancement demonstrate that digital twins hold the potential to address challenges in optimization of operation and design at the wind farm level, thereby maximizing the efficiency and lifespan of wind turbines.

#BeEmpoweredToMakeADifference 🎉 Exciting news! One of our PhD students Karan Titus has just published a paper: "Techno-economic analysis of geothermal combined with direct and biomass-based carbon dioxide removal for high-temperature hydrothermal systems." This paper is co-authored by his main supervisor, Dr David Dempsey, co-supervisor, Dr Rebecca Peer, and Dr Rosalind Archer, Griffith University, Australia. Their research explores the feasibility of using geothermal-based carbon dioxide removal (CDR) systems, showing these configurations could be more cost-effective than conventional geothermal plants! With the potential to remove 1 MtCO2/year, this study highlights a pathway to increase global access to geothermal resources and help offset residual emissions.

SHOGenergy with several HERCCULES project partners will present a poster at GHGT-17 IEAGHG Conference in Calgary, Canada (October 2024): Regulatory and political readiness of Southern Europe for industrial implementation of CCUS technology: a case study from Italy and Greece. It is based on the HERCCULES D8.1 report :“ Analysis of policy alignment including country case studies“ submitted to EC in the beginning of 2024 and planned to be updated at the project end (2027). However, there are already significant progress in the reported national policies and CCUS planning, and we have to update our analysis already now.
