Project 1.5: Reactive Reservoir Rocks for CO2 Storage

A project from Geoscience Australia, last updated on 2026-04-30, focusing on geological CO2 storage. It aims to improve the predictability and safety of CO2 storage by investigating reactive reservoir rocks. The project uses desktop studies, laboratory and field experiments, and geochemical modeling to understand mineral trapping mechanisms.

Use Cases

• Modeling long-term CO2 mineral trapping based on geochemical reaction rates mentioned in the description.
• Assessing structural and solubility trapping mechanisms for CO2 storage site selection.
• Calibrating geochemical models using data from the described laboratory and field experiments.
• Evaluating the safety of subsurface CO2 storage based on the project's findings on permanent immobilization.

Strengths

• Project has five defined objectives aimed at making CO2 storage more predictable and safer.
• Research employs a multi-method approach including desktop studies, experiments, and modeling.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data files are in PDF and HTML formats, which are not directly machine-readable for analysis.
