“…The law shows a close correlation with real behaviour of hydrogen at pressures up to about 12 MPa (Lindblom 1985). By the time a pressure of 35 MPa is reached the deviation is 15% UK UNDERGROUND HYDROGEN STORAGE (Lindblom 1985), highlighting that the ideal gas law is applicable for low-pressure storage only.…”

“…However, given that the diffusion rate of hydrogen in air at NTP is 4.4 times greater than methane it would diffuse more rapidly than natural gas (Lindblom 1985). Consequently, additional constraints on pore storage scenarios must be considered, including location to nature faults and mined structures.…”

“…Mechanical pumping, friction within the borehole and borehole pressure drop contribute to the 'operating loss', which may be equal up to 1% per cycle (Carden & Patterson 1979). Lindblom (1985) proposed the use of a 300 million cubic metres (mcm ¼ Â10 6 m 3 ) network of man-made tunnels for bulk underground hydrogen storage. The proposed network would be mined in a suitable hard rock that is able to withstand above-ambient hydrostatic pressures.…”

“…The proposed network would be mined in a suitable hard rock that is able to withstand above-ambient hydrostatic pressures. The types of rock are not discussed; however, Lindblom (1985) assumes that a water curtain will be used. A water curtain is the saturation of rock above the tunnel to fill micro-cracks in the rock structure and prevent stored product (e.g.…”

To utilize the full potential of hydrogen energy in the UK a number of economic, technical and environmental factors must be considered. An important factor in replacing fossil fuels with hydrogen will be the practicality of storing a sufficient quantity to smooth out fluctuations in demand and provide a strategic reserve. This paper investigates the potential for large-scale underground hydrogen storage in the UK by considering the technical, geological and physical issues of storage, the locations of salt deposits, legal and economic aspects. In addition, reference is made to the equations of state applicable to this type of storage. The results of this investigation show that the UK has a number of potential locations where underground storage would provide a strategic reserve of hydrogen.

“…A very limited number of papers have been written on the underground storage. A few papers have been written on the storage of pure hydrogen (Bulatov 1979;Carden and Paterson 1979;Lindblom 1985;Paterson 1983) and tend to conclude that hydrogen storage does not introduce any major new features in comparison with natural gas storage except the effect of lateral gas spreading outside the storage limits which is more pronounced because hydrogen is very light. One publication (Simbeck 2004) which tried to underline that high hydrogen diffusivity was the probable cause of a principally new behaviour did not change the common opinion as diffusive leakage of hydrogen was not observed in practice.…”

In situ observations have shown that underground storage of hydrogen behaves like a natural chemical reactor and generates methane. The mechanism of this generation is the metabolic activity of methanogenic bacteria which consume hydrogen and carbon dioxide and transform them into methane and water. The coupled mathematical model of the reactive transport and population dynamics in a storage is suggested in this paper which also takes into account the fact that the population growth rate depends on the structure of the bacterium colony. The suggested system of equations is reduced to the Turing reaction-diffusion model which proves the appearance of non-attenuating self-oscillations in time which are uniform in space. These solutions are unstable and, once perturbed, generate regular spatial stationary waves which correspond to the alternations of zones which are rich in CH 4 or CO 2 . This result predicts the effect of a natural in situ separation of gases, which was observed in practice. If the diffusivity of bacteria is neglected with respect to the effective diffusivity of the injected gas, then only large-scale spatial waves arise. A low but non-zero bacterium diffusivity causes the appearance of additional small-scale linear oscillations whose period is the intrinsic parameter of the process and is proportional to the bacteria-gas diffusivity ratio. The analysis is completed with numerical simulations of 2D problems and analytical solutions of 1D problems obtained using the technique of two-scale asymptotic expansion. The estimations for the parameters of the model were obtained.
