DGMK-Project Underground Storage Technology

Substance inputs for underground hydrogen storage tanks

Duration
by summer 2025
Research Center
DBI Group
Summary

The study will provide information on which components may be relevant and in what concentration, compare possible treatment steps and compare this with hydrogen quality standards.

The use of all relevant categories of underground storage facilities will be considered, i.e.
- freshly salted salt caverns,
- converted natural gas salt caverns (originally filled with crude oil blanket, diesel blanket or nitrogen blanket),
- converted oil or product salt caverns and
- converted or newly constructed pore storage facilities (former gas reservoirs and aquifers) for the storage of hydrogen.

It should also be assessed whether the inputs from the surface facility are relevant to the overall inputs. In addition to a literature review, the study will also carry out its own calculations and analyses based on the real variety of storage conditions in Germany and Europe, which can be obtained from the clients if required.
be determined.

Boundary conditions:
Calculations are to be carried out for representative example storage systems as formulated in the study "Storing hydrogen, that much is certain".
The results must be considered in relation to turnover rates.
