Underground hydrogen storage is a critical component of the UK's strategy to achieve net-zero emissions. The study evaluates various large-scale storage options in geological structures available in the UK, focusing on salt caverns, saline aquifers, and depleted oil and gas reservoirs. Salt caverns are currently the most favorable option due to their proven experience in hydrogen storage, especially for high-purity hydrogen, natural sealing properties, and high charge and discharge rates. However, their geographical availability in the UK is limited, and a significant increase in new caverns is needed to meet storage demands. Salt caverns are suitable for short-term storage, while porous media such as saline aquifers and depleted reservoirs offer long-term, strategic solutions for energy demand and security. These options have much greater storage capacity than projected demand. The UK has a strong commitment to hydrogen as a clean energy carrier, with a target of 225 TWh of low-carbon hydrogen demand by 2050. Hydrogen production methods include grey hydrogen from natural gas, blue hydrogen with carbon capture, and green hydrogen from renewable energy. The UK's hydrogen strategy emphasizes both blue and green hydrogen, with a target of 10 GW of low-carbon hydrogen production by 2030. The strategy includes investments in CCUS technologies, industrial clusters, and the development of a hydrogen economy. The study discusses the challenges and opportunities of underground hydrogen storage, including technical, economic, and regulatory considerations. Salt caverns are a well-established technology for storing hydrocarbons, including natural gas, and have been used for hydrogen storage in the UK since 1972. However, the process of creating salt caverns involves the production of large amounts of brine, which can pose environmental and operational challenges. Other storage options, such as saline aquifers and depleted reservoirs, are also being explored, with the potential for large-scale storage. The UK has several sedimentary basins with rich halite deposits, making them prime candidates for cavern construction. These basins are strategically located in Wessex, Eastern England, Cheshire, and the East Irish Sea. The Cheshire Basin is the preeminent region for natural gas storage caverns, with a minimum of 73 caverns currently operational or under construction. The study highlights the importance of site-specific investigations and the need for detailed geological understanding to ensure the safe and efficient storage of hydrogen. The UK's hydrogen strategy aims to develop a robust and reliable storage infrastructure to support the transition to a low-carbon economy.Underground hydrogen storage is a critical component of the UK's strategy to achieve net-zero emissions.
