New Research Project – SAFE-T

Posted bystructuralmgPosted inUncategorized

SAFE-T – Salt As the Future of Energy Transition. Is Romanian salt an option for storing hydrogen, other resources or waste? is the name of the project led by Dr. Dan Mircea Tămaș and financed by the Executive Unit for the Financing of Higher Education, Research, Development, and Innovation (UEFISCDI).

The project aims to assess and understand a series of risks associated with salt-related projects (such as energy storage as hydrogen or compressed air in salt caverns, CO2 storage in near-salt structures, geothermal energy or storage of waste) in the Romanian Carpathians.

Geoscience research group focusing on structural interpretation using methods like analogue modelling, fieldwork, remote sensing (UAV based) coupled with creation and interpretation of virtual outcrops. The research group (led by Dr. Dan M. Tamas) is based in the Research Center for Integrated Geological Studies, Babes-Bolyai University, Cluj-Napoca, Romania and performs most of the work from the Structural Modelling Laboratory.
