Investigation of research needs regarding the storage of hydrogen gas in lined rock caverns
Prestudy for Work Package 2.3 in HYBRIT Research Program 1
New report: Johansson, F., Spross, J., Damasceno, S., Johansson, J. and Stille, H. (2018) Investigation of research needs regarding the storage of hydrogen gas in lined rock caverns: Prestudy for Work Package 2.3 in HYBRIT Research Program 1. TRITA-ABE-RPT; 182, KTH Royal Institute of Technology.
The present report investigates the current research needs to allow for underground storage of hydrogen gas in lined rock caverns. The report will serve as a basis for the future research in Work Package 2.3 of HYBRIT RP1. The objective of HYBRIT RP1 is to explore and assess pathways to fossil-free energy-mining-iron-steel value chains and thereby provide a basis for industrial development activities and the necessary future transformative change in this field, where a large-scale storage capacity for hydrogen gas is an important component of the proposed HYBRIT concept.
