Multiphysics of salt precipitation during CO2 storage

When CO2 is pumped deep underground for safe and long-term storage, it can trigger a lesser-known challenge: salt crystals forming inside the rock pores. CO2 dries the salty water inside the rock pores. This water becomes more and more salty until the salt crystals form. These crystals can block ...
