Molecular insights into the role of kerogen in retention of geologically sequestered CO₂ in shale formations during leakage scenarios

The long-term security of geological CO₂ storage depends not only on the capacity of reservoir rocks to accommodate CO₂ but also on their ability to retain it under leakage scenarios. In this study, molecular dynamics simulations were used to investigate CO₂ behavior in illite-based shale pores with...
