HMEI Faculty Seminar: “Underground H2 Storage and Natural Production: Pathways to Energy Decarbonization”

Catherine Peters, the George J. Magee Professor of Geological Engineering and professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering, will present “Underground H2 Storage and Natural Production: Pathways to Energy Decarbonization” in Guyot Hall, Room 10, and online via Zoom. Peters is the second speaker in the spring 2024 HMEI Faculty Seminar Series.

Drawing on experimental studies conducted by her lab, Professor Peters will discuss strategies for optimizing the storage of H2 gas underground for gas purity and operational safety and introduce new research that explores how, by coupling and controlling a unique set of naturally occurring mineral reactions deep underground, it may be possible to produce natural H2 while simultaneously mineralizing carbon dioxide (CO2) – a breakthrough in the production and storage of H2 gas that would facilitate the transition to a clean energy future and the achievement of global targets for mitigating climate change.

This seminar is free and open to the public. Lunch will be available in the Guyot Atrium at noon. All attendees can register here in advance to attend this event via Zoom livestream.
