Market Definition

The process of storing hydrogen produced in underground reservoirs or caverns is known as underground hydrogen storage. This method of storing hydrogen is predicted to balance the energy demand and supply, reduce volatility in energy prices in the forthcoming years, and thus advance the development of the hydrogen economy across the globe.

Market Insights & Analysis: Global Underground Hydrogen Storage Market (2024-30):

The Global Underground Hydrogen Storage Market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of around 28.45% during the forecast period, i.e., 2024-30. The continuously increasing global carbon emissions due to the incessantly fueling energy demand from the past years have directed the world’s need for clean energy. The growing global population & urbanization have also been pushing the need for clean energy with low or no carbon emissions to support day-to-day activities. As per the International Energy Agency, in 2022, the global carbon emission from energy combustion & industrial use stood at nearly 36.8 Gt, which is approximately a 0.9% increase from 2021.

Hydrogen has not only proven to be an effective clean energy carrier but also portrays a considerably high energy density, around 120 MJ/kg, more than that of conventional gasoline or diesel. This notable energy density positions hydrogen as a viable option for numerous sectors, potentially offering a complete substitution for fossil fuels. Moreover, given that the current hydrogen production primarily relies on fossil fuels, there is a necessity for clean production processes.

Furthermore, the political tension and uncertainties amongst the nations around the world have created fear amongst the energy-dependent nations & resulted in volatile prices in recent years. Global disruptions such as the Russia-Ukraine war and the Israel-Hamas war have only proved the need for energy storage. The conventional production of hydrogen and the capture & storage of carbon during the process is also a viable solution only if there is a continuous supply of fossil fuels at economical prices.

With surging research & development in the application of hydrogen in various sectors, the demand for hydrogen is predicted to soar rapidly. In line with the soaring demand for hydrogen, nations across the globe have been consistently investing to develop sufficient production facilities to satiate the future demand. In 2024, a European hydrogen storage alliance, ‘H2eart for Europe,’ underlined the need for hydrogen storage facilities in Europe, considering the future rising demand for hydrogen and the under-construction of hydrogen projects.

Thus, the increasing hydrogen demand and unstable production of low-carbon hydrogen have generated the demand for storage facilities and are estimated to further stimulate the Global Underground Hydrogen Market in the forecast years.
