Subsurface Hydrogen Energy Storage

Dr. Achinta Bera is currently working as an Assistant Professor of Petroleum Engineering at the School of Energy Technology, Pandit Deendayal Energy University, Gandhinagar, India. He received his Ph.D. in Petroleum Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology (Indian School of Mines), Dhanbad in 2014. After that, he worked as Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Alberta, Canada in the EOGRRC Group from 2014-2015. Thereafter, he moved to the Petroleum Institute, Abu Dhabi (Currently known as Khalifa University) to work as Postdoctoral Research Associate and spent 3 years working on a project related to carbonate reservoir characterization and modeling funded by ADNOC. He has published several articles in refereed international journals in petroleum engineering. He is an active reviewer of more than 40 reputable international journals like the Journal of Petroleum Science and Engineering, Energy & Fuels, Langmuir, SPE Journal, Applied Energy, Fuel, Chemical Engineering Science etc. Sunil Kumar is the Chief Innovation officer at Sciglyph. He did his PhD in Petroleum Engineering from IIT (ISM) Dhanbad and Postdoctoral research from University of Calgary, Canada and Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS, Malaysia. He has more than 10 year of research experience in Energy, complex fluids, and carbon analytics. His keen interest is on underground hydrogen storage and carbon sequestration for the mitigation of Greenhouse gases from the atmosphere. He is an active reviewer of several reputable international journals like the Journal of Natural Gas Science and Engineering, Journal of the Taiwan Institute of Chemical Engineers, Energy & Fuels, Petroleum Science, Natural Resources Research, Energy Sources, Part A: Recovery, Utilization, and Environmental Effects etc. He has published more than 21 international journal papers and 3 book chapters.
