Enabling large-scale hydrogen storage in porous media – the scientific challenges
Descripción general
Resumen del artículo
Large-scale underground hydrogen storage in porous media (UHSP) offers a promising solution for balancing renewable energy supply and demand. However, several scientific challenges, including hydrogen's unique properties, geochemical reactions, microbial activity, and geomechanical effects, must be addressed to ensure safe and efficient storage operations.
