New technique produces porous carbon fibers for energy storage
After synthesizing the block copolymer in the lab, the viscous solution underwent three chemical processes to produce porous carbon fibers. The first step is electrospinning, a method that uses electric force to create fibrous strands and then harden the strands into a paper-like material. Next, Liu put the polymer through an oxidation
Storing carbon dioxide safely underground | MIT Energy Initiative
Storing carbon dioxide safely underground. Carbon dioxide (CO2) could be injected underground into the briny porous rock below. Most of the CO2 gas would be immobilized (light blue), trapped as small bubbles (white) in the pore space of the rock (gray). Only a small portion of the CO2 (dark blue) will continue to flow up towards the

Four ways to store large quantities of hydrogen
The second way to store large quantities of hydrogen is to inject pure hydrogen or a hydrogen-methane mix into porous rock, in a depleted oil or gas field, or an aquifer. The hydrogen content may vary from a few per cent to 100 per cent. Reservoir and biochemical testing/modelling are to be performed accordingly.

11.12: Aquifers
When a water-bearing rock readily transmits water to wells and springs, it is called an aquifer. Wells can be drilled into the aquifers and water can be pumped out. Precipitation eventually adds water (recharge) into the porous rock of the aquifer. The rate of recharge is not the same for all aquifers, though, and that must be considered when

How do you store CO 2 and what happens to it when you do?
Keeping the lid on CO 2 stored underground. Put simply, the most straightforward way underground reservoirs store CO 2 is through the solid impermeable rock that typically surrounds them. Once CO 2 is injected into a reservoir, it slowly moves upwards through the reservoir until it meets this layer of impermeable rock, which acts

Geoscientific processes are mostly multi-phase by nature, often compassing at least a solid phase (e.g. rock, soil) and a fluid (e.g. water, CO2) or a gaseous phase (air, vapor, CO2). Also, in many geoscientific processes, the involved phases do not have the same temperature. Hence, the description of the heat distribution and
