Talks & software milestones

8 September 2026 · ECMOR workshop

Microbial Simulation of Underground Hydrogen Storage with MRST

Elyes Ahmed presented at Enabling large scale hydrogen storage in subsurface porous reservoirs, Porto, Portugal.

MRST 2025b · h2-biochem released

MRST introduced h2-biochem, coupling compositional flow with microbial growth and hydrogen-consuming reactions, alongside Søreide–Whitson phase behavior and bio-clogging capabilities.

MRST 2025a · h2store released

MRST introduced h2store for hydrogen–brine black-oil simulations, with Redlich–Kwong phase behavior, PVT tabulation, and solubility data from ePC-SAFT and Henry–Setchenow correlations. This site uses the module name h2-store.

These release milestones refer to inclusion in official MRST releases.
