Together with colleagues from The Institute of GeoEnergy Engineering, we have joined forces with National Central University (NCU) in Taiwan to address some of the most pressing global energy challenges. The collaboration was formalised through the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), marking the beginning of a dynamic partnership aimed at advancing research and […]
Our Vision
We work at the interface between Geology, Geomechanics, Petrophysics and Geochemistry to solve questions relating to subsurface CO2 storage, geothermal energy, unconventional resources or energy storage. We combine state-of-the-art, advanced and novel laboratory methods with analytical and numerical modelling to amplify the understanding of the opportunities and risks of these technologies to enable an informed […]
