Underground Hydrogen Storage

Abstract Renewable energy production is limited by the fluctuations limiting their application. Underground Hydrogen Storage (UHS) is one possible alternative to reduce the gap between supply and demand by storing the energy converted to hydrogen as a carrier and store it during surplus to produce it during high demand periods. The hydrogen is stored in the subsurface in geological formations containing the gas and is injected/produced via wells. There is a lack of experience associated with this technology and only a small number of projects worldwide. There are several mechanisms that can compromise the integrity of the well and generate leakage of the stored gas. This paper aims to introduce the challenges associated with well integrity of UHS. Mechanisms that can compromise well integrity and generate leaks include microbial corrosion, hydrogen blistering hydrogen induced cracking and hydrogen embrittlement, cement degradation, elastomer failure, and caprock sealing failure. Propose well completion criteria, recommendation, and materials selection for newly constructed wells or existing wells. A comparison with more developed storage technologies aims to provide a better understanding of the limitations of hydrogen storage by comparing it to carbon dioxide (Carbon Capture and Storage) and methane (Underground Gas Storage). Finally, evaluation and monitoring techniques are required to see the influence of hydrogen on well integrity. Future research and development will reduce the uncertainties and limitations associated with UHS increasing its feasibility and implementation.

Storage Technologies

A hydrogen economy is needed, in order to resolve current environmental and energy-related problems. For the introduction of hydrogen as an important energy vector, sophisticated materials are required. This paper provides a brief overview of the subject, with a focus on hydrogen storage technologies for mobile applications. The unique properties of hydrogen are addressed, from which its advantages and challenges can be derived. Different hydrogen storage technologies are described and evaluated, including compression, liquefaction, and metal hydrides, as well as porous materials. This latter class of materials is outlined in more detail, explaining the physisorption interaction which leads to the adsorption of hydrogen molecules and discussing the material characteristics which are required for hydrogen storage application. Finally, a short survey of different porous materials is given which are currently investigated for hydrogen storage, including zeolites, metal organic frameworks (MOFs), covalent organic frameworks (COFs), porous polymers, aerogels, boron nitride materials, and activated carbon materials.

Significant heat transfer issues associated with four alternative hydrogen storage methods are identified and discussed, with particular emphasis on technologies for vehicle applications. For compressed hydrogen storage, efficient heat transfer during compression and intercooling decreases compression work. In addition, enhanced heat transfer inside the tank during the fueling process can minimize additional compression work. For liquid hydrogen storage, improved thermal insulation of cryogenic tanks can significantly reduce energy loss caused by liquid boil-off. For storage systems using metal hydrides, enhanced heat transfer is essential because of the low effective thermal conductivity of particle beds. Enhanced heat transfer is also necessary to ensure that both hydriding and dehydriding processes achieve completion and to prevent hydride bed meltdown. For hydrogen storage in the form of chemical hydrides, innovative vehicle cooling design will be needed to enable their acceptance.
