Abstract

An energy system includes a natural or enhanced geothermal reservoir having a subsurface rock formation and an energy source integrated into the natural or enhanced geothermal reservoir configured to convert heat to energy. The energy source can include at least one of: a hydrogen source included in the subsurface rock formation, a methane or other hydrocarbon gas source, and a dihydrogen sulfide source. The dihydrogen sulfide and the methane or other hydrocarbon gas source can be converted to hydrogen and an associated carbon dioxide or sulfur reaction product can also be sequestered by mineralization in the subsurface rock formation following the conversion.

Abstract

A method of producing hydrogen and sequestering carbon or sulfur includes generating a fluid including at least one of water, steam, hydrogen sulfide, carbon dioxide and heat as a byproduct of a surface facility and injecting the fluid into a subsurface formation. The subsurface formation can include a porous rock, in various forms of porosity such as intragranular, intergranular, fracture porosity. The method can further include heating the fluid to stimulate an exothermic reaction of the fluid with components of the subsurface rock formation and produce a hydrogen reaction product and one or more of sulfur minerals from the hydrogen sulfide or carbon minerals from the carbon dioxide. The fluid can be heated to between about 25°C and about 500°C. The method can also include extracting the hydrogen produced from the reaction of the fluid with the subsurface rock formation and mineralizing at least one of the sulfur or carbon in the porous rock.

Abstract

A method for assessing a molecular or isotopic composition of a fluid includes analyzing a proportion of the fluid derived from a source to determine the source of the fluid, quantifying the proportion of the fluid derived from one or more sources, and assessing the relationships of chemical species within the fluid to validate the source of the fluid. This assessment can be accomplished through the direct measurement of molecular composition of fluid mixtures or the isotopic composition of specific fluids in that mixture, and/or a combination of statistical, thermodynamics, or kinetic modelling of these chemical reactions. The results of these measurements and models can be used to verify the source and conditions of various forms of hydrogen or other resources.
