Hydrogen offers a potential energy storage medium because of its versatility. The gas can be produced by electrolysis of water, making it easy to integrate with electricity generation. Once made, the hydrogen can be burned in thermal power plants to generate electricity again or it can be used as the energy source for fuel cells.
Due to the higher storage pressure and, thus, compactness, the most promising option among these for the large-scale storage of hydrogen is pipe storage. Pipe storages have been applied for the storage of natural gas since the 1980s, mainly to manage peaks in demand for storage facilities with limited access to a natural gas grid .
The storage of hydrogen is challenging. Being the lightest molecule, hydrogen gas has a very low density: 1 kg of hydrogen gas occupies over 11 m 3 at room temperature and atmospheric pressure . Thus, for the storage of hydrogen to be economically viable, its storage density must be increased.
Previous work related to the storage of hydrogen on a large scale (here meaning storage of tens to thousands of tonnes of hydrogen) is relatively scarce and is, with a few exceptions , , , mainly focused on the storage of hydrogen underground , , .
Hydrogen storage offers several opportunities that make it an attractive option for energy storage and distribution. Some of the opportunities for hydrogen storage are. 1.
