Hydrogen underground storage has been proposed as a solution not only for storing fluctuating renewable electricity at large scale as a chemical, but also to use the hydrogen produced via electrolysis of water for other end uses, such as a fuel for transport, a chemical feedstock for industry and an add-on/substitute to natural gas. In this chapter, the basics of large-scale underground storage of hydrogen are presented: hydrogen underground storage options and storage potentials in Europe, benchmarking against other large-scale hydrogen storage, aboveground and below-ground process technology, infrastructure for integration in various end uses using the case of Germany as an example, and potential actors in industry and economic considerations for the potential role of hydrogen underground storage in different energy markets.
