Geological H 2 storage plays a central role to enable the successful transition to the renewable H 2 economy and achieve net-zero emission in the atmosphere. Depleted oil and gas reservoirs are already explored with extensive reservoir and operational data. However, residual hydrocarbons can mix with injected H 2 in the reservoirs. Furthermore, low density and high diffusivity of H 2 may establish H 2 leakage from the reservoirs via fault pathways. Interestingly, H 2 can be consumed by microorganisms, which results in pore-network precipitation, plugging, and partial permeability impairment. Therefore, stored H 2 may be lost in the formations if the storage scenario is not planned cautiously. While salt caverns are safe and commercially proven geo-rock for H 2 storage, they have low-storage capacity compared to depleted gas reservoirs. Moreover, salt structures (e.g., domel, bedded) and microorganisms activities in the salt cavern are limiting factors, which can influence the storage process. Accordingly, we discuss challenges and future perspectives of hydrogen storage in different geological settings. We also highlight geographical limitations with diverse microbial communities and theoretical understanding of abiotic transformation (in terms of rock's minerals, i.e., mica and calcite) for geological H 2 storage. Regarding the fundamental behavior of H 2 in the geological settings, it is less soluble in formation water; therefore, it may achieve less solubility trapping compared to CO 2 and CH 4 . Furthermore, H 2 gas could attain higher capillary entrance pressures in porous media over CH 4 and CO 2 due to higher interfacial tension. Additionally, the low viscosity of H 2 may facilitate its injection and production but H 2 may establish the secondary trapping and viscous fingering. Thus, this review documents a blend of key information for the amendment of subsurface H 2 storage at the industrial scale.

“…A comprehensive review of a technoeconomic analysis of various configurations of a hybrid renewable energy design has been carried out by the author and also presents a case study for a remote area using various optimization techniques (Sawle et al, 2016;Sawle et al, 2018). The utilization of solar energy systems for applications such as irrigation and household has been implemented for economic and sustainable development (Kanna et al, 2020;Pillai, 2020). Prefeasibility technical, economic, and sensitive analysis using HOMER has been carried out to electrify a remote location in the district of India (Sawle et al, 2021).…”

The study analyzed the techno-economic feasibility of a village in the Indian state of Assam and designs a framework for a rural hybrid energy system. Through an extensive resource evaluation, techno-economic feasibility analysis and system size optimization are carried out using HOMER Pro software. Batteries are being used as a form of energy storage in the community power system, which is based on solar PV and micro-hydro as its principal energy sources. Macro-economic variables and resource variations have been considered in sensitivity analysis to ensure the robustness and commercial viability of the proposed hybrid energy systems. A reliable and economical design can provide 279861 kWh of electricity for the village at a modest cost of energy (COE) of $0.0953/kWh using 118 kW of solar power, 11 kW of hydropower, and 261 kWh of battery storage. Furthermore, solar energy systems account for about 62.5 percent, while micro-hydro turbines account for 37.5 percent. In addition, the suggested system does not pollute the local environment caused by carbon emissions. Most importantly, this hybrid energy system is capable of providing 24/7 continuous electricity to the site under consideration.

“…Solar water pumps, distinguished by their high efficiency, particularly thrive in regions where extending the power grid proves impractical. Even in areas where a connection to the national grid is feasible, the preference for photovol-taic pumps persists due to various compelling reasons [9]. This preference is not merely driven by logistical considerations but is substantiated by the proven economic viability of photovoltaic pumps when compared to their diesel counterparts.…”

The demand for water pumping in urban water supply and irrigation in Bangladesh is significantly influenced by electricity deficits and high diesel costs. To address these challenges, the adoption of solar power for water pumping emerges as a viable alternative to traditional systems reliant on grid power and diesel. In recent years, there has been a growing emphasis on clean and renewable energies, aligning with the environmental and economic priorities of Bangladesh. The agricultural sector, serving as the backbone of the country's economy, witnesses an escalating demand for water as the population increases. The extraction and transfer of water for agricultural and drinking purposes translate to high-energy consumption. Leveraging the abundant and essentially free solar energy, particularly during the crop growth periods when irrigation is crucial, presents an optimal solution. This study underscores the underutilization of this vital resource in Bangladesh and advocates for the widespread implementation of solar energy conversion programs, specifically in photovoltaic pumping systems. By comparing these systems with conventional diesel pumps, this paper aims to inspire policymakers, statesmen, and industry professionals to integrate green energy into the water sector. The envisioned outcome is a strategic shift towards sustainable development, with a focus on harnessing solar power to pump water for villages and agriculture, thus contributing to economic and environmental sustainability.
