WS4: Subsurface Engineering and Risk Management for CO₂ and Hydrogen Storage
Tracks
Workshops
| Monday, September 21, 2026 |
| 9:00 - 17:00 |
Details
This workshop addresses the subsurface engineering and risk management required for both permanent CO₂ sequestration and large-scale hydrogen storage. It covers reservoir characterisation, geomechanical integrity, and monitoring strategies, with a focus on managing the distinct technical challenges of each application—from long-term containment assurance to cyclic loading effects in hydrogen systems. The program also explores monitoring technologies and regulatory frameworks necessary to ensure containment integrity, manage liability, and support the development of safe, bankable storage projects. The overarching objective is to provide a rigorous scientific and technical foundation for credible subsurface storage solutions.
