In her Glossop Award presentation, Jacobs engineering geologist Carla Martín Clavé set the focus on the current climate emergency and salt caverns as a storage solution for the energy transition.
The Engineering Group of the Geological Society’s Glossop evening took place at the Royal Institution on 23 November. At the event, the 25th Glossop Award winner gave a presentation focusing on the role of engineering geology in the energy transition.
Carla Martín Clavé completed her PhD in underground gas storage in salt caverns at the University of Nottingham, sponsored by the British Geological Survey.
“Salt caverns are manmade underground holes created by a process called solution mining, which consists of injecting water in the rock salt formation and dissolving the salt and then washing out the salt to create underground cavities to be…
