Role of Relative Permeability Hysteresis in Numerical Simulations for Hydrogen Geostorage

Hydrogen (H2) is increasingly being seen as a viable way to transport excess energy generated by renewable sources, preventing imbalances in energy supply. H2 storage is the barrier that we must overcome because current surface facilities are unable to meet the large-scale storage demands. Undergrou...
