A comprehensive mathematical and computational modeling of CO2
Geosequestration and Compressed Air Energy Storage Energy and
environment are two interrelated issues of great concern to modern
civilization. As the world population will soon reach eight
billion, the demand for energy will dramatically increase,
intensifying the use of fossil fuels. Utilization of fossil fuels
is by far the largest anthropogenic source of CO2 emission into the
earth's atmosphere. This unavoidable reality necessitates efforts
to mitigate CO2 from indefi nitely being emitted in the atmosphere.
CO2 geo-sequestration is currently considered to be a vital
technology for this purpose. Meanwhile, and as fossil fuels will
sooner or later be depleted, utilization of renewable energy
resources is inevitable. Nowadays, wind and solar energy, being
clean and sustainable, are gaining momentum. However, their
availability is intermittent. This intermittent nature of solar and
wind energy necessitates storing the produced energy at off-peak
times for later use. Compressed air energy storage in subterranean
caverns, aquifers and coal seams is currently considered to be a
plausible technology for this purpose. CO2 geo-sequestration and
compressed air energy storage are thus vital technologies for
current and future energy strategy development. These technologies
can be made safe and cost-effective by utilizing computational
tools capable of simulating the involved multiphysical phenomena
and processes. Computational modeling of such systems is
challenging and resource-consuming. Meeting such a challenge
constitutes the focal point of this book. This book addresses
comprehensive theoretical and computational modeling aspects of CO2
geosequestration and compressed air energy storage. The book
consists of 16 chapters authored by prominent researchers in these
two fi elds. The authors of the book endeavoured to present years
of innovative work, making it available for a wide range of
readers, including geoscientists, poromechanists, applied
mathematicians, computational geoscientists, geologists and
reservoir engineers.
