Picturing the value of underground gas storage to the European hydrogen system There is a large gap between planned hydrogen storage projects and needed storage volumes for the benefit of the EU energy system. In 2030, this gap is predicted to measure 36 TWh.
A key takeaway from this paper is the importance of a holistic approach to addressing the challenges of hydrogen energy storage. Technological advancements in production, storage, and transportation are crucial, but they must be complemented by supportive policies and regulatory frameworks.
Energy storage in the form of hydrogen could provide a remedy for this problem: excess renewable electricity is fed into an electrolyser to split water into oxygen and hydrogen. The green hydrogen is stored and subsequently used in gas turbines to produce electricity when needed, releasing the stored energy back to the grid.
The integration of all storage types in a European Hydrogen network ensures the simultaneous uti-lisation of their diverse capabilities. The interplay between salt caverns and depleted fields exem-plifies the importance of a diverse portfolio of storage types within the UHS landscape.
The growing role of hydrogen in the European energy transition (see Section 3.2) contributes to the accelerated integration of VRE into the energy system. The results show that most PtH2 is operated in an “off-grid” set up, with electrolyzers primarily powered by a direct connection to solar and wind onshore and offshore ( Fig. 16 ).
