T76. Geological and geophysical data, tools, and models for the exploration of the Earth crust in times of energy transition

-

Congressi SGI-SIMP

In the past decades, integrated geological and geophysical studies of the subsurface stratigraphic and structural setting of the upper and lower crust have highlighted their pivotal role in providing essential support to the industrial sector. This is especially crucial for promoting sustainable development and optimizing the efficient utilization of subsurface resources, particularly in the context of energy production.
These multidisciplinary studies, essential to reduce subsurface uncertainty, de-risk drilling, and ensure the safe operation of the exploitation projects, have also produced significant scientific advances, for the comprehension of the tectono-sedimentary evolution of the sedimentary basins, in different tectonic setting. The aim of this session is to explore the (actual and potential) contribution of geological and geophysical studies to the development of new energy sources in the transition to low-carbon energy, essential to tackle Climate Change and bring humanity toward a fairer and more sustainable society. Contributions are welcome, covering a wide range of consolidated and/or innovative geological and geophysical methodologies and multidisciplinary approaches, being applied to either sustainable energy research and developments (e.g. geothermal, hydro and wind), or to subsurface storage of CO2 (CCS) and hydrogen, and to the appraisal and exploration of critical raw materials. Contributions may also include the AI and ML capabilities, in acquiring, processing and modelling the surface and subsurface data.
