Underground hydrogen storage is a fundamental requirement of any net zero energy system, which is likely to rely on the use of hydrogen as both an energy carrier for storing excess energy from renewable sources (e.g. solar, wind) and alternative fuel to decarbonise hard to abate sectors (e.g. shipping, freight, heavy industry).
Large-scale underground storage of hydrogen gas is expected to play a key role in the energy transition and in near future renewable energy systems. Despite this potential, experience in underground hydrogen storage remains limited.
Underground hydrogen storage (UHS), particularly in depleted oil and gas reservoirs, is gaining traction as a promising solution for seasonal energy balancing and the integration of intermittent renewable energy sources.
UHS deployment remains limited with much operational uncertainty. Further research is needed to mitigate the identified technological risks. Hydrogen energy (HE) is a promising solution for large-scale energy storage, particularly for integrating intermittent renewable energy sources into the global energy system.
The transition to a low-carbon energy system demands large-scale, dependable energy storage solutions, with hydrogen emerging as a key enabler due to its versatility, dispatchability, and
