Overview
This one-day online course focuses on high-capacity underground hydrogen storage. It addresses the seasonal demand for hydrogen in heating and production, emphasizing the need for cost-effective storage solutions. Participants will explore various storage options and learn about the importance of high-capacity storage in different scenarios. The course, led by expert Stephen B. Harrison, is designed for those involved in hydrogen value chains and future operators of underground storage facilities. Interactive sessions and exercises are included to enhance understanding of key concepts.
Who should attend
Operators, owners of high-capacity underground hydrogen storage
Course Content
One-day course: high-capacity underground hydrogen storage
When hydrogen replaces natural gas for heating, the demand profile will be highly seasonal according to how warm or cold the weather is. Hydrogen production from hydroelectric power can also be highly seasonal according to how much rainfall or snowmelt is entering the river system. High-capacity storage is required to ensure cost-effective hydrogen production or utilisation in seasonal situations. Underground hydrogen storage in man-made salt caverns is one of the most cost-effective solutions, where the underground geography permits. Other high- capacity storage options exist.
This course will cover some of the high-capacity storage options and explain in which situations each may be suitable. The seasonality of some production and use-cases will also be covered to underline the importance of high-capacity hydrogen storage.
If you are investing in hydrogen value chains or considering the most appropriate technologies to implement for your projects, this course will provide insights to support your decision making. Future operators and owners of high-capacity underground hydrogen storage will also gain exposure to the technique.
Agenda
• Mid-scale and small scale run of the river hydro-electric power to hydrogen
• Large dam, mega-scale hydro-electric power to hydrogen
• Time-shifting with seasonal hydrogen storage and seasonal hydrogen demand
• Underground storage of hydrogen
• Underground storage of natural gas and underground methanation
This course includes:
• An engaging virtual training session lasting approximately four hours
• Interactive format with dedicated Q&A sections with the expert trainer
• Exercises to cement understanding of the key concepts introduced in the course
