Underground cavern hydrogen storage

Underground cavern hydrogen storage

Underground cavern hydrogen storage is the practice of hydrogen storage in underground caverns [ [http://www.praxair.com/praxair.nsf/AllContent/3A0AB529A089B473852571F0006398A3?OpenDocument&URLMenuBranch=19B4D941A5B182EE852571FC005510B2 . hydrogen storage cavern system] ] Large quantities of gaseous hydrogen are stored in underground caverns by ICI since many years without any difficulties [ [http://www.hyweb.de/Knowledge/Ecn-h2a.html 1994 - ECN abstract] ] . The storage of large quantities of hydrogen underground can function as grid energy storage which is essential for the hydrogen economy.
