Project description
Training a new generation of geo-energy experts
Geo-energy projects have great potential to contribute to reducing climate change. But their underground nature and the interaction of various processes, like fluid flow, geomechanics, and geochemistry, make them complex. The EU-funded SMILE project will train a new generation of researchers to overcome these challenges and better predict such coupled processes. This will enable new solutions for the successful deployment of subsurface low-carbon energy sources while protecting groundwater and related ecosystems. The project will involve training researchers in the experimental, mathematical and numerical modelling of coupled processes, upscaling techniques and ground deformation monitoring using field data from highly instrumented pilot tests and industrial sites. The goal is to train competitive researchers with both technical-scientific and transferable skills.
