Experimental Capabilities and Fundamental Science for Geologic Carbon Sequestration: The PNNL In Situ Supercritical Suite (IS3)
EMSL Project ID
47427
Abstract
This Science Theme proposal requests EMSL access for investigators in the In Situ Supercritical Suite (IS3) component of PNNL's Carbon Sequestration Initiative (CSI). The CSI is a multi-million dollar strategic investment of PNNL Laboratory Directed Research and Development (LDRD) funding to establish unique experimental and computational capabilities that advance the science and implementation of sequestration of supercritical CO2 (scCO2) and co-contaminants in the deep subsurface. The IS3 component of the CSI is a group of five projects whose goals are to develop instruments and expertise for measurements and fundamental understanding of mineral carbonation reaction mechanisms and kinetics, and reactive multi-phase fluid transport phenomena (co-existing water-rich and scCO2-rich fluids). The uniqueness stems in part from the emphasis on measurements made in situ under geologically relevant scCO2 temperatures and pressures. Most of the capability development proposed for the IS3 is within the EMSL. This Science Theme proposal is to provide the access needed to EMSL labs and equipment for this PNNL research and capability development activity. We request 'Standard Access' under EMSL's Geochemistry/Biogeochemistry and Subsurface Science Theme.
