A quantitative assessment of the hydrogen storage capacity of the UK continental shelf

Jonathan Scafidi et al.

Summary: The UK's transition to renewable energy and decarbonisation of gas supply will require large-scale energy storage, with hydrogen being considered as an effective storage vector. Research has identified the hydrogen storage potential in gas fields and saline aquifers on the UK continental shelf, highlighting low temperature storage sites with sealing rocks that can withstand high pressures as the most ideal locations. Gas fields in the Southern North Sea could leverage existing infrastructure and large offshore wind developments for large-scale offshore hydrogen production.

Mapping geological hydrogen storage capacity and regional heating demands: An applied UK case study

Julien Mouli-Castillo et al.

Summary: This study introduces a globally applicable methodology for matching hydrogen storage with energy demand in order to address the decarbonization challenges in the domestic heating sector. Using the UK domestic heating system as a case study, it demonstrates that only a few offshore gas fields are needed to store enough hydrogen energy to balance seasonal demand.

Risk Assessment of the Large-Scale Hydrogen Storage in Salt Caverns

Maria Portarapillo et al.

Summary: This study conducted a risk assessment for high-pressure hydrogen storage in salt caverns, considering the impact of bacterial contamination on gas composition. The results showed that unconfined vapor cloud explosion (UVCE) caused by hydrogen leakage is the most frequent outcome.
