The British Geological Survey (BGS) published a science briefing note outlining the potential of underground hydrogen storage to facilitate the UK’s energy transition. This briefing highlights that as the reliance on renewable energy sources grows, there is a pressing need for effective energy storage solutions. It identifies hydrogen, especially when produced from renewable sources, as a valuable energy carrier for managing excess power and aiding decarbonisation across difficult sectors. To meet the net-zero target by 2050, the brief predicts that hydrogen storage needs will significantly surpass current gas storage capacity, urging for more demonstration projects and investments in R&D to overcome existing knowledge gaps.
