Large-scale and long-term storage of Hydrogen in underground reservoirs

该项目旨在测试有效的策略，以重新利用澳大利亚的枯竭气田进行大规模，长期，可再生能源储存。随着澳大利亚的能源系统正在经历彻底的氢基能源转型，未来几年的一个关键挑战将是长期有效地储存大量的氢（数月和数年）。这项研究的总体预期成果是充分了解在空气田长期储存氢气的性能以及地质和环境影响。优点：如果澳大利亚要有效地实现这种新的、可持续的、负担得起的、长期的储氢解决方案，这种基础科学知识至关重要。

This project aims to test effective strategies to re-use Australia’s depleted gas fields for large-scale, long-term, renewable energy storage. With Australia’s energy system undergoing a radical hydrogen-based energy transformation, a critical challenge in the years ahead will be to effectively store massive volumes of hydrogen for long periods (months and years). The overall expected outcome of this research is to fully understand the performance and the geological and environmental implications of long-term storage of hydrogen in empty gas fields. Benefit: this foundational scientific knowledge is crucial if Australia is to effectively bring about this new, sustainable, affordable, long-term, hydrogen-storage solution.
