Energy Resources Engineering Laboratory

The Energy Resources Engineering Laboratory is responsible for a wide range of energy resources engineering disciplines, not only limited to the exploration and sustainable development and production of energy resources, including frontier areas such as the deep ocean floor, space and ultra-deep subsurface, but also applying new technologies such as drones and VR.
Currently, we are working on the exploration of abundant natural hydrogen, methane hydrate development, resource assessment of the Earth’s inner mantle using drilling information science, geological storage of carbon dioxide (CCS), resource development on the Moon and Mars, understanding the distribution of underground resources using model experiments, various uses of geothermal resources and life cycle assessment (LCA), drilled wells’ safety, development of methods to control production disturbances using green nanotechnology, as well as activities related to the revaluation of the ‘bounty of the earth’ through industry-community collaboration during the energy transition period.
We aim to explore and develop energy resources with a better environment and community well-being in mind, using laboratory experiments, field tests, field observations, data analysis, numerical simulation and VR.
