Subsurface Microbial Gas Formation in Geoenergy Systems: A Review of Mechanisms, Applications, and Future Perspectives
Microbial gas formation in subsurface environments governs the generation, transformation, and fate of methane (CH4), carbon dioxide (CO2), hydrogen (H2), and nitrogen (N2), with direct implications for geoenergy systems. This review integrates the metabolic pathways and reservoir-scale processes that govern microbia...
