1 · To enable large-scale hydrogen storage in the renewable energy era, UHS (underground hydrogen storage) has attracted significant attention due to its cost
Since liquid storage and cryo-compressed storage needs extremely low storage temperatures (−253°C), only compressed hydrogen may be used at underground storage locations [45]. H 2 may be securely held as a gas at pressures ranging from 50 to 300 bar (5 × 10 6 –3 × 10 7 Pa) and temperatures ranging from 300 to 400 K (26.85–126.85 °C).

Underground hydrogen storage (UHS) is an important part of the future renewable energy market in Ontario in order to achieve global carbon neutrality and to fill the gap left by retiring nuclear
Hydrogen can be produced by splitting water with renewable electricity via a process called electrolysis. As a fuel, hydrogen can be used in vehicles and to produce heat and electricity for industry
Pure hydrogen can be stored as a liquid and gas in many ways. These are physical, chemical and adsorption methods (Andersson and Grönkvist 2019 ). Physical methods; pressure can be stored in large steel tanks and underground geological structures. These structures include depleted oil and gas aquifers and salt caverns.
In September 2022, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) said it would spend $7 billion on at least half a dozen hydrogen "hubs": production sites for green or blue hydrogen. And in May 2022, the European Union called for 20 million tons a year of new green hydrogen—half imported, half domestic—by 2030.
Portland Port Dorset. UKEn will build the UK''s largest Hydrogen storage site, with up to 2 billion cubic metres capacity providing up to 20% of the UK''s predicted hydrogen storage needs in 2035, doubling the UK''s existing underground storage. It will also include a system level hydrogen battery to store excess renewable power for later peak
Hydrogen is considered the fuel of the future due to its cleaner nature compared to methane and gasoline.
