Total and its partners have launched a simulator designed to predict the long-term behaviour of CO 2 stored in geological repositories.
Total and its partners have launched a simulator designed to predict the long-term behaviour of CO2 stored in geological repositories.
Developed using new technologies in high-performance computing and applied mathematics, the GEOSX simulator aims to improve the management and safety of large-scale geological storage. It has been released as an open-source tool to support the entire industry in developing CCUS technologies.
GEOSX is the first major milestone of the five-year FC-MAELSTROM research project launched in 2018 by Total, Stanford University School of Earth, Energy and Environmental Sciences, and the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory of the United States Department of Energy.
The project is led by a team based in California, working with researchers from industry players, universities and professional institutions.
