Technology Description:

Lawrence Berkley National Laboratory is developing a cyclic injection strategy to create fractures, stimulate geologic hydrogen production, and ultimately transport the produced hydrogen back to the surface. The approach involves multiscale numerical modeling, laboratory tests, and field characterization to develop and test the proposed technology using rock samples from Montana and other sites. Through high pressure, high temperature testing, the system will be optimized for hydrogen flow and maximum extraction.
