Session: ERE4.2 Hydrogen for energy storage in the subsurface, from laboratory research to future low-carbon energy scenarios
Conveners: Niklas Heinemann, Katriona Edlmann, Suzanne Hangx, Christopher Yeates (ECS)
The use of hydrogen as a fossil fuel substitute opens a range of opportunities to decarbonise future energy systems in line with the international climate protection agreements. Large-scale underground storage sites such as salt caverns as well as porous media, e.g., saline aquifers and depleted hydrocarbon fields, could store large volumes of hydrogen safely and hence hydrogen storage can contribute significantly to reduce the emissions from fossil fuel-based energy sources in several energy sectors such as transport, heating power generation and energy storage. To highlight the importance of understanding the principles of hydrogen storage on different scales, this session aims to bring together scientists from all disciplines interested in the implementation of a hydrogen-based, low-carbon future.
