Energy storage in carbonate and basalt reservoirs: Investigating secondary imbibition in H2 and CO2 systems. Gas injection into geological storage sites displaces existing water in rock pore spaces, triggering lateral secondary imbibition. This phenomenon involves the migration of water from areas with higher water saturation to replenish the
<p>Gas injection into geological storage sites displaces existing water in rock pore spaces, triggering lateral secondary imbibition. This phenomenon involves the migration of water from areas with higher water saturation to replenish the displaced water. The lateral distance over which this imbibition occurs is critical for understanding injection/withdrawal flow
This work focuses on the charging model of natural and cast basalt for packed bed thermal energy storage used in Carnot batteries.

The system consist of a container with spiralling pipes and 40 m3 basalt, covered in a layer of rock wool. The energy of 50 PV solar panels are stored in summer and used to heat an event hall in winter. Another trial project is in Boekel, the Netherlands, where the energy of 700 PV solar panels will be stored to heat 36 houses all year round.
The concept of storing renewable energy in stones has come one step closer to realization with the construction of the GridScale demonstration plant. The plant will be the largest electricity storage facility in Denmark, with a capacity of 10 MWh. The project is being funded by the Energy Technology

Hydrogen geo-storage is a promising technology to achieve net-zero carbon emissions. Basaltic rocks have attracted limited attention, and only limited knowledge of the suitability of the basaltic formations for large-scale hydrogen storage is available. The complex in situ geochemical reaction of basalt–hydrogen is a key factor in evaluating the suitability of basalt for hydrogen
One crucial parameter for gas storage in basaltic formations is the wettability of basalt-gas-brine which controls gas spreading in the rock''s pore network [31].The wettability at geo-storage conditions is very crucial for an accurate estimation of H 2 column heights and storage capacity [1], [32].There are a few researchers who reported the wettability of basalt

Injection of CO 2 into basaltic formations provides significant benefits including permanent storage by mineralisation and large storage volume. The largest geological storage potential lies offshore and in the case of basalt, along the mid-oceanic ridges where CO 2 could be stored as carbonate minerals for thousands of years. Most of the bedrock, both on land and
