“…Furthermore, reference (98) suggests that no insurmountable technical barriers appear to exist for hydrogen storage in a depleted gas reservoir for seasonal hydrogen storage. More assessments and pilot studies are needed to determine both the economic and practical viability of different options and each reservoir will need to be assessed on a case-by-case basis.…”

In recent years, newfound interest in the hydrogen economy from both industry and academia has helped to shed light on its potential. Hydrogen can enable an energy revolution by providing much needed flexibility in renewable energy systems. As a clean energy carrier, hydrogen offers a range of benefits for simultaneously decarbonising the transport, residential, commercial and industrial sectors. Hydrogen is shown here to have synergies with other low carbon alternatives, and can enable a more cost-effective transition to de-carbonised and cleaner energy systems. This paper presents the opportunities for the use of hydrogen in key sectors of the economy and identifies the benefits and challenges within the hydrogen supply chain for power-to-gas, power-to-power and gas-to-gas supply pathways. While industry players have already started market introduction of hydrogen fuel cell systems, including fuel cell electric vehicles and micro-combined heat and power devices, the use of hydrogen at grid-scale requires the challenges of clean hydrogen production, bulk storage, and distribution to be resolved. Ultimately, greater government support, in partnership with industry and academia, is still needed to realise hydrogen's potential across all economic sectors.

“…To enable hydrogen as a low carbon energy pathway, gigawatt-scale storage will be required [2][3][4][5] . Geological gas storage in underground salt caverns, depleted oil and gas fields and deep aquifers are proven technologies that could provide the necessary scales for hydrogen storage [6][7][8] . Hydrogen-rich town gas mixtures have been stored in geological formations since the 1970's 9 and currently, over 1,000,000 m 3 of hydrogen is stored in underground salt caverns 10,11 .…”

the use of hydrogen (H 2) as a substitute for fossil fuel, which accounts for the majority of the world's energy, is environmentally the most benign option for the reduction of CO 2 emissions. this will require gigawatt-scale storage systems and as such, H 2 storage in porous rocks in the subsurface will be required. accurate estimation of the thermodynamic and transport properties of H 2 mixed with other gases found within the storage system is therefore essential for the efficient design for the processes involved in this system chain. In this study, we used the established and regarded GERG-2008 Equation of State (EoS) and SupertRaPP model to predict the thermo-physical properties of H 2 mixed with CH 4 , N 2 , CO 2 , and a typical natural gas from the North-Sea. the data covers a wide range of mole fraction of H 2 (10-90 Mole%), pressures (0.01-100 MPa), and temperatures (200-500 K) with high accuracy and precision. Moreover, to increase ease of access to the data, a user-friendly software (H2Themobank) is developed and made publicly available.

“…Geologic storage of hydrogen gas in underground cavities is similar to that of compressed air storage, including man-made salt caverns or deep porous formations [65]. Several studies have demonstrated the availability of underground hydrogen storage in Northern Germany [66], Poland [67], and Romania [68], as well as the technical feasibility of hydrogen storage generally [69]. However, the availability of hydrogen storage options near large cities causes large cost disparities [70].…”

The role of electricity storage and hydrogen technologies in enabling global low-carbon energy transitions

Previous studies have noted the importance of electricity storage and hydrogen technologies for enabling large-scale variable renewable energy (VRE) deployment in long-term climate change mitigation scenarios. However, global studies, which typically use integrated assessment models, assume a fixed cost trajectory for storage and hydrogen technologies; thereby ignoring the sensitivity of VRE deployment and/or mitigation costs to uncertainties in future storage and hydrogen technology costs. Yet there is vast uncertainty in the future costs of these technologies, as reflected in the range of projected costs in the literature. This study uses the integrated assessment model, MESSAGE, to explore the implications of future storage and hydrogen technology costs for low-carbon energy transitions across the reported range of projected technology costs.Techno-economic representations of electricity storage and hydrogen technologies, including utility-scale batteries, pumped hydro storage (PHS), compressed air energy storage (CAES), and hydrogen electrolysis, are introduced to MESSAGE and scenarios are used to assess the sensitivity of long-term VRE deployment and mitigation costs across the range of projected technology costs. The results demonstrate that large-scale deployment of electricity storage technologies only occurs when techno-economic assumptions are optimistic. Although pessimistic storage and hydrogen costs reduce the deployment of these technologies, large VRE shares are supported in carbon-constrained futures by the deployment of other low-carbon flexible technologies, such as hydrogen combustion turbines and concentrating solar power with thermal storage. However, the cost of the required energy transition is larger. In the absence of carbon policy, pessimistic hydrogen and storage costs significantly decrease VRE deployment while increasing coal-based electricity generation. Thus, R&D investments that lower the costs of storage and hydrogen technologies are important for reducing emissions in the absence of climate policy and for reducing mitigation costs in the presence of climate policy. List of Acronyms: VRE: variable renewable energy PHS: pumped hydro storage CAES: compressed air energy storage IAM: integrated assessment model MESSAGE: model for energy supply strategy alternatives and their general environmental impact RLDC: residual load duration curve H2: hydrogen CT: combustion turbine GHG: greenhouse gas During the period from 1990 to 2010, variable renewable energy (VRE) deployment increased rapidly, with average annual global primary energy growth rates of 44% and 25% for solar and wind, respectively [1] [2]. This largescale deployment has been motivated by a number of drivers, including government subsidies, rapidly declining investment costs, energy security concerns, and growing global consensus around climate change risks [3] [4]. Future scenarios of the global energy system suggest an even larger role for renewable energy over the next century, particularly if climate policy is introduced....
