Abstract Summary
Hydrogen is considered as a promising energy carrier but its massive storage is still a major issue to be solved. Underground storage in salt cavern has already been used for decades to store hydrocarbons and need to be adapted to the storage of hydrogen. Our studies aim at characterizing the development of damage networks in halite through in situ X ray microcomputed tomography analysis, digital volume correlation and damage quantification. Using a triaxial device adapted to in situ XR µCT tests, we study the micro mechanisms involved and the deformation of synthetic halite with different water content under various confining
