“…Hydrogen is regarded as a clean energy source, because hydrogen production has almost zero CO 2 emissions. Generally, hydrogen production can be achieved through several thermochemical, biological, electrolysis, and water-splitting methods. , For instance, green hydrogen can be produced via electrolysis, which uses electricity to split water into hydrogen and oxygen, − and blue hydrogen is produced by fusing methane gas (CH 4 ), , which requires CO 2 capture and storage for blue hydrogen, while gray hydrogen can be produced by the reformation of fossil fuels …”

Underground hydrogen storage (UHS) is a promising solution to meet the increase in energy supply and demand while supporting the energy transition to net-zero carbon. The successful implementation of UHS requires careful assessment of several scientific aspects, among them evaluating the cement stability and wellbore integrity to ensure safe storage and production of hydrogen. Few studies have evaluated the geochemical reactivity of cement to hydrogen; however, more studies are needed to explore the role of hydrogen adsorption and diffusivity behavior with cement and address the associated wellbore integrity issues. This minireview presents the state-of-the-art advancement in evaluating the impact of hydrogen on cement wellbore stability from various aspects, including hydrogen/ cement interactions, hydrogen adsorption and diffusivity, current methodologies, experimental setups, and the role of cement additives and cushion gases. This minireview provides a general comparison between UHS and other gas storage applications and mainly aims to bridge the knowledge gap by providing insights for practical implementations, challenges, and future directions relevant to wellbore integrity. Although most of the reviewed studies reported a low impact of hydrogen injection on cement stability, the successful implementation of UHS requires further assessment as various technical and non-technical factors and mechanisms are involved. Systematic scientific studies should be performed in the future, which will assist in overcoming the existing challenges and reducing the uncertainty associated with wellbore integrity during UHS.

With planned hydrogen import terminals and production sites along the North and Baltic Seas, the German coast is likely to become the center of the hydrogen economy. Underground hydrogen storage in the sedimentary reservoirs of the region, particularly in the Bunter Sandstone Formation, could provide the required storage capacity for the future hydrogen economy due to its widespread occurrence and proven sealing system. Herein, the storage capacity is assessed using a probabilistic volume approach and possible reactions between the Bunter Sandstone and hydrogen based on geochemical simulations with PHREEQC are determined. This assessment gives an effective storage capacity of 0.84–4.14 PWh in the saline aquifers of the Bunter Sandstone, of which 0.52–2.57 PWh could be stored onshore. If production from currently operating fields are to cease, additional capacities of between 89.43 and 285.53 TWh could be found in its hydrocarbon fields. Mineralogical reactions are shown to be restricted to redox reactions, which do not affect the formation integrity of siliciclastic reservoirs. As a result, pore storage facilities in the Bunter Sandstone could provide an important storage option for the hydrogen economy, but will require further investigations in the lab and in the field.
