Relative performance of hydraulic, hydro-mechanical and thermo-hydro-mechanical models on the geological sequestration of CO2 in deep saline aquifers
Key Points
Geological sequestration of CO2 is influenced by the type of model used, particularly hydro-mechanical interactions.
Hydraulic models showed variable performance compared to thermo-hydro-mechanical models, impacting CO2 retention.
Analysis of model effectiveness across various conditions indicates the need for improved simulation methods.
Further evaluation of these models is necessary to enhance our understanding of CO2 behavior in geological environments.
