In TIAM-FR, a bottom-up optimization model of the global energy system, we developed an explicit model of the global cement industry to analyze the potential contribution of BECCS to producing cleaner cement.

Our findings demonstrate that BECCS can significantly contribute to cement decarbonization, making it easier, quicker, and more cost-effective to achieve.

Scaling bioenergy use from 3% of the global energy mix to more than 40%, along with strengthening global climate policies, is essential. By leveraging the potential of bioenergy substitution up to 80% and extensively invest in CCS processes, carbon neutrality in cement production could be advanced by 10 to 18 years, enabling the production of net-negative cement.

In this study, we introduced and validated a batch dissolution experimental protocol for efficient quantification of labile Mg, an indicator of carbon mineralization reactivity derived from ultramafic rocks, minerals, and tailings. This method is used to characterize labile Mg content in various ultramafic minerals, including serpentine and hydrotalcite group minerals, as well as rocks like serpentinite, dunite, harzburgite, and tailings. Antigorite exhibits the lowest labile Mg content within the serpentine mineral group, whereas chrysotile releases the most.

We found that grain size impacts the reactive surface area of ultramafic rocks and tailings, while protolith composition and rock alteration stages affect mineralogy. Consequently, under consistent geochemical conditions, we identified mineral type, abundance and reactive surface area as primary controls of labile Mg content. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) further validated our findings, showing that mineralogy and reactive surface area could account for over 90 % of the variability in labile Mg measurements.

One solution to control CO&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt; increase is geo-sequestration (CGS) into depleted reservoirs. However, the storage resources of a reservoir are heavily linked to the associated wells injectivity, mainly in the near wellbore region. The formation of CO&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt; hydrates due to CO&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt; injection, and the associated thermodynamic phenomena, may greatly alter the petrophysical properties of these injection zones. The adiabatic depletion leads to a large temperature decrease which, associated with local “cold” conditions, can bring the system into the CO&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt; hydrates stability zone in the near wellbore area. If those conditions are encountered, a severe reduction, or even loss, of injectivity can be anticipated. CO&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt; hydrate can plug partially, or totally, the pore bodies and/or pore throats. Today, only few results are available regarding CO&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt; hydrates formation in these peculiar depleted near wellbore conditions.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Loss of injectivity due to the hydrate formation risk is addressed in this experimental integrated study; hydrates formation in porous media in static conditions is performed using low field NMR, where hydrate formation in porous media in dynamic conditions is performed by the CAL-X™ experimental set-up.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The first porous rock chosen was a high permeability sandstone. In static conditions, after setting the system to a targeted water saturation (ranging between 10 and 50 %), experiments were conducted in an in-house high-pressure NMR set-up. Taking advantage of the huge relaxation contrast between protons, part of water molecules and hydrates, the average water content can be measured continuously during hydrate formation and dissociation as well as water profiles along the sample. The capability of the Peltier cooled NMR system to accurately control the temperature, allows a good determination of the thermodynamic stability limits. The influence of the water saturation is presented and discussed.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The effect of hydrate formation on the permeability of porous rock is also studied.

Only 4 % discrepancy is predicted in reservoir and seafloor subsidence between scenarios 2 and 3.

However, shale integrity can be compromised upon interaction with CO<sub>2</sub>, which should be carefully evaluated. This study explores the dynamic behaviour of CO<sub>2</sub>-shale interaction at the pore scale, focusing on the physiochemical interactions between CO<sub>2</sub> and shale, including the impact of shale swelling, where CO<sub>2</sub> adsorption causes matrix deformation and alters fracture sizes. Here, we utilise image-based analyses to develop a triple-porosity pore network model (PNM), reflecting the complex nano- to micro-scale structure of shale, to examine CO<sub>2</sub> injection into methane-saturated environments. The study particularly focuses on the impact of matrix deformation caused by gas sorption (swelling), competing with mechanical stress effects.

Although fracture permeability versus CO<sub>2</sub> injection pressure reduces monotonically at the lower confining pressure, that of the higher confining pressure is non-monotonic, where the fracture permeability shows an increase due to effective stress change.
