NE2G is a group of researchers, engineers and scientists in the North East of England led by Prof. Mohamed Rouainia (Professor of Computational Geomechanics at Newcastle University).

We have a wide-range of experience and expertise in computational and experimental energy geomechanics from nano to macroscale. NE2G works with many of the leading universities in the UK and several major energy companies.

Focus

Geomechanics is a core discipline in any engineering application involving the ground. We have been involved in a range of projects focusing on surface and subsurface energy applications. Our research areas include:

• Offshore geotechnical engineering
• Energy piles and ground source heat pumps
• Deep geothermal power
• Hydraulic fracturing
• Carbon capture and storage
• Energy storage
