GMPV3.1: Understanding fluid-rock interactions of ultramafic rocks for CO2 mineralization, natural H2 resources and critical element mobilityCo-organized by ERE3/TS8Convener: Manuel Menzel ^ECS | Co-conveners: Katrin Steinthorsdottir ^ECS, Frank Zwaan ^ECS

Abstract submission

Dear Colleagues,

We invite you to submit your abstract and join our session GMPV3.1 at #EGU26.

We welcome contributions addressing:

• Natural and artificially induced CO2 storage by mineralization.
• Natural and potentially stimulated H2 formation.
• Critical metal behaviour during ultramafic alteration.

We cordially invite contributions that advance our understanding of the conditions, mechanisms and rates of these processes during fluid-rock interactions in peridotites and serpentinites from microscopic to industrial and tectonic scales, including studies of natural analogues, field surveys, pilot injection sites, laboratory experiments and theoretical simulations.

Solicited speaker: Benjamin Malvoisin (Univ. Grenoble-Alpes)
