Abstract

Energy transition policies aim to foster low-carbon energy systems based on Renewable Energy Sources (RES). Given the intermittent nature of energy production from RES, establishing an energy-storage infrastructure for these envisioned systems is imperative. Recent studies have identified hydrogen as one of the most environmentally friendly media for energy storage. Considering the projected high demand for storage capacity and the remarkable versatility of underground hydrogen storage facilities, this study presents a pioneering analysis of the innovative concept of Underground Hybrid Hydrogen Storage (UHHS), which utilizes co-occurring rock salt deposits and depleted natural gas reservoirs. This article outlines potential UHHS sites in Poland and details methodologies for assessing their storage capacities. Spatial data analysis techniques were employed to evaluate the feasibility of locating hybrid storage facilities. The research findings include maps delineating potential sites within depleted gas reservoirs and salt deposits, along with aggregated estimates of storage potential in selected areas. At the examined sites, the co-occurrence of rock salt deposits and depleted natural gas reservoirs yields a storage potential exceeding 36 TWh_H2.

地下混合储氢的潜力

能源转型政策旨在促进基于可再生能源（RES）的低碳能源系统。鉴于可再生能源的能源生产具有间歇性，为这些设想的系统建立储能基础设施势在必行。最近的研究发现，氢是最环保的储能介质之一。考虑到对储能容量的预期高需求以及地下储氢设施的显著多功能性，本研究对地下混合储氢（UHHS）这一创新概念进行了开拓性分析，该概念利用了共生岩盐矿床和枯竭天然气储层。本文概述了波兰潜在的 UHHS 场址，并详细介绍了评估其储存能力的方法。文章采用了空间数据分析技术来评估混合储气设施选址的可行性。研究成果包括枯竭气藏和盐沉积中潜在地点的划分图，以及所选地区储藏潜力的综合估算。在所考察的地点，岩盐沉积和枯竭天然气储层的共同存在产生了超过 36 TWhH2 的储存潜力。

期刊介绍： The objective of the International Journal of Hydrogen Energy is to facilitate the exchange of new ideas, technological advancements, and research findings in the field of Hydrogen Energy among scientists and engineers worldwide. This journal showcases original research, both analytical and experimental, covering various aspects of Hydrogen Energy. These include production, storage, transmission, utilization, enabling technologies, environmental impact, economic considerations, and global perspectives on hydrogen and its carriers such as NH3, CH4, alcohols, etc. The utilization aspect encompasses various methods such as thermochemical (combustion), photochemical, electrochemical (fuel cells), and nuclear conversion of hydrogen, hydrogen isotopes, and hydrogen carriers into thermal, mechanical, and electrical energies. The applications of these energies can be found in transportation (including aerospace), industrial, commercial, and residential sectors.
