Research Needs in Porous Media for the Energy Transition

Research Needs in Porous Media for the Energy Transition

Martin J. Blunt, Aimy Bazylak, Michelle Brook, Ann Muggeridge, Franklin M. Orr Jr.

The many exciting research challenges involving flow in porous media relevant to the energy transition are discussed, including carbon dioxide sequestration, geothermal energy, thermal, hydrogen and compressed gas energy storage, and electrochemical devices. The paper develops themes first discussed at a panel session of the 2023 InterPore Annual Meeting in Edinburgh. The intention of the work is to motivate and inspire our colleagues to work in this field to help solve some of the most pressing and significant technological problems of the 21st century.
