Nanopore Confinement of C-H-O Mixed-Volatile Fluids Relevant to Subsurface Energy Systems

The overarching goal of OU’s contribution to the project was to use novel computational approaches to quantify the effect of variable nanopore features (pore size, volume, topology, and chemistry) and the presence of water or salt solutions on the sorption and transport of carbon-bearing fluids. To achieve this goal OU collaborators tested test two related hypotheses: • The transport of water and aqueous electrolytes in nanopores is controlled by pore size, pore wall composition, and the type of salt – structure-maker (e.g., CaCl 2 ) versus structure-breaker (e.g., NaCl) that affect the hydrogen-bonding network. • The structure, solubility, and transport of carbon-bearing molecules in water or aqueous electrolyte-filled nanopores are controlled by the substrate type including degree of hydration, and pore features, and regulated by the hydration structure of the guest molecules.

From Subsurface to System: Offshore CCS Development for the Northeastern U.S. Atlantic Shelf

This study evaluated offshore carbon sequestration potential and infrastructure design along the mid-north Atlantic outer continental shelf, addressing the limited onshore storage options in the northeastern U.S. The objective was to define viable CCS pathways by integrating geological characterization, reservoir modeling, and system-level engineering for decarbonizing regional industrial sources. The work was conducted under US DOE grant FE0032407 for the Regional Initiatives and builds on a previous prospective resources assessment project by Battelle.
