ABSTRACT:
The potential applications and requirements for fixed site storage in a scenario of wide spread hydrogen use are examined and quantified. An envisioned hydrogen production/distribution/end-use cycle is scrutinized to identify the storage needs for both continuous and intermittent sources

including solar. The most pressing need for storage is found to be at the distribution point, in concurrence with current natural gas practice. Caverns and similar underground storage techniques are shown to be the most promising modes due to their low cost relative to all other options examined. Since a large volume of natural gas storage is presently in service, a pressing need to develop fixed site hydrogen storage technology (beyond the conversion of this underground storage to hydrogen) has not been identified.
