Underground hydrogen storage represents a promising avenue for storing excess energy
for future use. To ensure the safe implementation of this technology, it is crucial
to evaluate the potential alterations hydrogen might induce in the host rock.
This study estimates the evolving costs of blue hydrogen production and to further
examine the economic effect on technological evolution of the Inflation Reduction
Act’s tax credits for carbon sequestration and clean hydrogen.
Hydrogen and hydrogen-based fuels could offer potential solutions to meet the projected
increase in energy demand and consumption. However, as an important surplus energy,
hydrogen needs to be stored for later use. Geological storage is an efficient and
low-cost option for storing large volumes of hydrogen. Among the geological storage
options, saline aquifers are considered the most cost-effective for underground hydrogen
storage (UHS).
