GREEN – Geo-Resources, Energy & Environmental Management

Mission

Geo-Resources, Energy and Environmental Management (GREEN) team aims to facilitate through its research the transition to sustainable energy, the exploitation of geo-resources, as well as the improvement of environmental conditions. GREEN seeks to provide added valued, efficient energy solutions for a better future, delivered with expertise and teamwork.

Research focus

GREEN’s research focus is mainly on:

Confronting geological issues regarding the energy and the environment.
Confronting environmental issues of mine remediation.
Confronting environmental issues of water, air and solid pollutants.
Promoting a scientific approach to critical metals.
Development of CO₂ and H₂ storage methods.
Scientific approach to slope stability issues.

Main scientific directions

CCUS / Hydrogen storage techniques – petrological and petrophysical characterization and modelling.
Climate change, sustainable energy transition and identification of geological sites for energy storage
Geotechnical characterization of mining areas – safety analysis.
Ground improvement, monitoring, identification of problems and risk analysis.
Identification of past and current climate conditions.
Identification of potential uses for spoil dumps of coal and lignite mines.
Identification and development of novel approaches regarding GIScience.
Mineralogical, geochemical and petrographic characterization of soil material – REE distribution and characterization and quantification of alteration products.
Critical raw materials research, with emphasis on REE and PGE related minerals.
Petrological modeling of recycling/natural materials for construction applications.
Development of porous materials of controlled, hierarchical porosity via chemical activation of oxide mixtures.
Hydrogeochemisty – Hydrogeology and Groundwater resources management and Evaluation of the impact of groundwater changes.
Hydrogeochemical investigation of contaminated land.
Impact assessment of changes in surface water on the stability of structures.
Environmental and health risk assessment of groundwater bodies.
Geochemical modelling for the assessment of water rock interaction processes.
Microstructural, porosimetric, heavy metal characterization and upgrade of power production by-products.
Environmental remediation processes.
Geoheritage with emphasis on recognized UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
