In a world of energy transition and net zero pledges, low-carbon energy solutions are central in the fight against climate change. Hydrogen plays a key role in a clean energy future, but there are still economic and infrastructural challenges to be overcome. Hydrogen storage in large volumes is one of the value chains..

Large-scale storage of hydrogen in salt caverns for carbon footprint reduction

This article presents a geomechanical appraisal of green hydrogen (H2) storage in salt caverns opened by solution mining as a technical contribution to carbon footprint reduction. The location of the salt cavern is speculative, within possible limits to be found in the salt deposits in the Gulf of Mexico of the USA, as the aim is to demonstrate the technical feasibility of the concept..
