Objective:
The objective is to apply knowledge from research themes 1-6 to:
- Design more energy- efficient electrochemical systems tailoring for instance their porous transport layer.
- Describe the role of buoyancy in CO2 sequestration in reservoirs.
- Predict hydraulic fracturing in three dimensions.
