Beyond Critical Minerals Targets: Digital Rock Physics as Infrastructure for Secure and Circular Supply Chains

Hannah P. Menke, Alessio Scanziani, Maja Rücker

The United Kingdom and Europe are moving rapidly from critical minerals target-setting to implementation. The EU Critical Raw Materials Act and the UK's Vision 2035 create ambitiou…

A First Look at Hydrogen Generation in an Ultramafic Rock with Micro-CT and SEM-BEX

Hannah P. Menke, Zaid Z. Jangda, Max Webb +2

Natural hydrogen generated by water-rock interaction in ultramafic rocks is increasingly recognised as a potentially important primary energy resource, but the pore-scale processes…

Inference of microporosity phase properties in heterogeneous carbonate rock with data assimilation techniques

Zhenkai Bo, Ahmed H. Elsheikh, Hannah P. Menke +3

Accurate digital rock modeling of carbonate rocks is limited by the difficulty in acquiring morphological information on small-scale pore structures. Defined as microporosity phase…

Dispersivity calculation in digital twins of multiscale porous materials using the micro-continuum approach

Julien Maes, Hannah Menke

The micro-continuum method is a novel approach to simulate flow and transport in multiscale porous materials. For such materials, the domain can be divided into three sub-domains d…

Subsurface hydrogen storage controlled by small-scale rock heterogeneities

Zaid Jangda, Hannah Menke, Andreas Busch +3

Subsurface porous rocks have the potential to store large volumes of hydrogen (H) required for transitioning towards a H-based energy future. Understanding the flow and tra…
