While storing pure hydrogen in salt caverns has been practiced since the 70s in Europe, pure hydrogen storage has not yet been carried out yet anywhere in depleted fields or aquifers. Hystories will deliver technical developments applicable to a vast range of future aquifer or depleted field sites, will conduct techno-economic feasibility studies and provide insights into underground hydrogen storage for decision makers in government and industry.
The final outcome of the project will be assessments of techno-economic feasibility of implementing hydrogen storage in preferred locations, to enable informed decision making on pilot demonstration and industrial deployment.
