Call for Abstracts – InterPore2026 Minisymposium MS01: Porous Media for a Green World
karoli...@interpore.org
Dear colleagues,
We are pleased to invite you to participate in the 18th Annual InterPore Meeting – InterPore2026, which will take place 19–22 May 2026 in Nantes, France. InterPore brings together researchers from around the world working on all aspects of porous media science, including energy, climate, hydrology, materials, biology, and more.
As part of the conference, we warmly encourage you to submit an abstract to the minisymposium:
MS01 – Porous Media for a Green World: Energy & Climate
Lead Organizer:
Sahar Bakhshian – Rice University, USA
Co-Organizers:
• Sojwal Manoorkar – University of Ghent, Belgium
• Benzhong (Robin) Zhao – McMaster University, Canada
• Sophie Roman – University of Orléans, France
• Charlotte Garing – University of Georgia, USA
• Mozhdeh Sajjadi – University of Tehran, Iran
Porous media science has played a central role in shaping the global energy system. The resulting carbon emissions have significantly contributed to the climate crisis, highlighting the urgent need for a transition to low-carbon solutions. In addition to renewable energy sources, a broad suite of low-carbon technologies—many rooted in natural and engineered porous media—is essential to achieving net-zero emission goals.
This minisymposium welcomes contributions at the interface of porous media science, energy systems, and climate-focused technology development, including but not limited to:
• Carbon capture, utilization & storage (CCUS)
• Subsurface carbon mineralization
• Geothermal energy
• Hydrogen energy storage in geological formations
We particularly encourage submissions featuring advanced experimentation, numerical modeling, machine learning, and multiscale upscaling approaches.
Solicited Speaker:
Branko Bijeljic – Imperial College London, UK
