Review of underground hydrogen storage: Concepts and challenges

Hamed Hematpur et al.

Summary: The energy transition aims to reduce global dependence on fossil fuels and achieve net zero carbon emissions by adopting renewable energy sources. However, the intermittent nature of renewables such as wind and solar poses challenges in matching generation and demand. One solution is to convert excess renewable power into hydrogen through electrolysis for storage and later use, similar to the current practice with natural gas.

Calcite-Fluid Interfacial Tension: H2 and CO2 Geological Storage in Carbonates

Mirhasan Hosseini et al.

Summary: Underground hydrogen storage (UHS) and CO2 geological storage (CGS) are essential for meeting energy demand and reducing greenhouse gases (GHGs). The calcite-fluid interfacial tension (Ycalcite-fluid) is crucial for gas storage in carbonate formations, but there is a lack of Ycalcite-fluid data in the literature. We theoretically calculated Ycalcite-fluid for calcite/H2/water and calcite/CO2/water systems, considering geological parameters like temperature, pressure, organic acid concentration, and salinity. The results showed that Ycalcite-gas decreased with pressure, salinity, and organic acid concentration but increased with temperature. Ycalcite-water slightly increased with organic acid concentration and salinity. Furthermore, Ycalcite-fluid values were higher for the H2/brine system compared to the CO2/brine system. This study provides a better understanding of wetting characteristics and enables further research on H2/CO2 storage in carbonate formations.

Role of Cushion Gas on Underground Hydrogen Storage in Depleted Oil Reservoirs

Mahdi Kanaani et al.

Summary: Hydrogen storage in underground structures is a vital way to maintain the balance between energy production and consumption, with the potential to convert excess electrical energy into chemical energy for temporary storage. The study found that using methane as cushion gas could achieve a maximum hydrogen recovery rate of 89.7%, while absence of cushion gas led to a higher hydrogen loss.

H2-brine interfacial tension as a function of salinity, temperature, and pressure; implications for hydrogen geo-storage

Mirhasan Hosseini et al.

Summary: Hydrogen, as a clean fuel source, has attracted attention for mitigating greenhouse gas emissions and meeting global energy demand. However, its high volatility and compressibility pose challenges for storage. Surface-based storage facilities and underground geo-storage are used to address these challenges. The interaction between hydrogen and resident formation fluids, such as water, greatly affects its flow pattern and storage capacity. This study measured the interfacial tension between hydrogen and brine under various storage conditions and developed an empirical equation to predict it. The results provide fundamental data for H-2 geo-storage projects and contribute to the implementation of a large-scale hydrogen economy.

Assessment of rock-hydrogen and rock-water interfacial tension in shale, evaporite and basaltic rocks

Mirhasan Hosseini et al.

Summary: Underground hydrogen storage is an important method for reducing greenhouse gases and meeting energy demand. The rock-fluid interfacial tension is a crucial parameter for gas storage, which can determine gas injection and production rates, as well as storage capacity and containment security. However, it is difficult to experimentally measure this parameter and there is a lack of data in the literature for different rock/H2/water systems. Therefore, this study theoretically calculated the interfacial tension using contact angles data, providing a better understanding of wetting characteristics in different rock/H2/water systems.
