Highlights
- • Batch geochemical modelling is performed to evaluate long-term mineral trapping at the Ketzin pilot site for CO2 storage.
- • Coupling of geochemical to reservoir simulation results allows quantification of mineral trapping at reservoir scale.
- • Geochemical simulations consider variability of porosity and water/gas saturation.
- • Mineral trapping is consecutively taken over by siderite, dolomite and magnesite.
- • Around 25% of the total injected CO2 is mineralized after 10,000 years.
