Numerical modeling of bio-reactive transport during underground hydrogen storage – A benchmark study
conference paper
While renewable energy's growth continues, the energy sector seeks effective storage solutions to balance fluctuating supply and demand. Underground Hydrogen Storage (UHS) emerges as a promising solution because it offers storage of energy in the form of (renewable) hydrogen at large scale and relatively low cost. Nevertheless, to date there is no comprehensive work on full-scale simulation of all the UHS-relevant subsurface processes that may impact safety and performance. This study tries to fill that gap by establishing benchmark scenarios, and assessing selected reservoir simulators' (GEM and DuMux ) abilities to model microbially induced changes in fluid composition over time, including among others methanogenic archaea
