Hydrogen Underground Storage in Romania, potential directions of development, stakeholders and general aspects
International Journal of Hydrogen Energy, 2014Co-Authors: I. Iordache, D. Schitea, Adrian V. Gheorghe, Mihaela IordacheAbstract:Abstract Romania is a country with relatively good opportunities to manage the transition from the dependence on fossil energy to an energy industry based on renewable energy sources (RES), supported by hydrogen as an energy carrier. In order to ensure Romania's energy security in the next decades, it will be necessary to consider a fresh approach incorporating a global long-term perspective based on the latest trends in energy systems. The present article focuses on an analysis of the potential use of salt caverns for hydrogen Underground Storage in Romania. Romanian industry has a long technical and geological tradition in salt exploitation and therefore is believed to have the potential to use the salt structures also in the future for gas and specifically hydrogen Underground Storage. This paper indicates that more analysis works needs to be undertaken in order to value this potential, based on which macroeconomic decisions then can be taken. The present work examines the structures of today's energy system in Romania and features an analysis of Romania's current potential of hydrogen Underground Storage as well as, reports on the potential use of this hydrogen in chemical industry, the transport sector and salt industry in Romania and highlighting issues implied by a possible introduction and use of hydrogen and fuel cell technologies.

HyUnder - Hydrogen Underground Storage at large scale, Part I: General project results (European Level)
20th World Hydrogen Energy Conference, WHEC 2014, 2014Co-Authors: D. Albes, O. Kruck, Jean-christophe Lanoix, A. Becker, Michael Ball, Peter Speers, Antoine Le Duigou, I. Iordache, D. Schitea, John Michalski, A. M. Ferriz, J. Simón, H. Mozaffarian, S. Capito, U. Bünger, Hubert Landinger, L. C. Correas, R. Evans, Marcel WeedaAbstract:Hydrogen Underground Storage has developed as important topic in the context of Power-to-Gas schemes, with hydrogen large scale Storage driven by the growing availability of cheap excess renewable electricity and the need of the transport sector to establish a hydrogen infrastructure across Europe. HyUnder comprises two parts, a general part (geology for and potential of hydrogen Underground Storage, below- and aboveground technology, general European energy framework and benchmarking against competing Storage technologies) and a country specific part. This part comprises joint results comparison of individual case studies on hydrogen Underground Storage for France, Germany, Romania, Spain, The Netherlands and the United Kingdom will be presented. Each case study has considered for the assessment the competitiveness of hydrogen Storage against other large scale energy Storage concepts, the geological potential for hydrogen Storage in the region, and how to embed the hydrogen energy Storage in the energy market. Results have shown the interest of the technology in short - medium term especially linked to certain conditions of high intermittent renewable energy penetration in the European power grid that results in surplus or residual electricity.

The sedimentology of the Bass Islands and Salina groups in Ohio and its effect on salt-solution mining and Underground Storage, USA
Carbonates and Evaporites, 1997Co-Authors: Thomas E. TomastikAbstract:The renewed interest in the Underground Storage of natural gas in salt caverns, along with continued development of the salt-solution mining industry in Ohio, has led to a need for a better understanding of the geology of the Bass Islands and Salina Groups.

The sedimentology of the Bass Islands and Sauna Groups in Ohio and its effect on salt-solution mining and Underground Storage, USA
Carbonates and Evaporites, 1997Co-Authors: Thomas E. TomastikAbstract:The renewed interest in the Underground Storage of natural gas in salt caverns, along with continued development of the salt-solution mining industry in Ohio, has led to a need for a better understanding of the geology of the Bass Islands and Salina Groups. Detailed examination of 17 cores and 11 core descriptions led to the conclusion that the Salina Group in Ohio was deposited in a shallow-water environment associated with sabkha and subaqueous settings. Further observations indicate that Salina deposition was extremely complex and most of thr previous work in Ohio was based on geophysical logs and other subsurface data instead of sedimentological features. Many of the situations, such as roof collapse and fluid migration, that are associated with salt-solution mining and Underground Storage in Ohio are directly related to the geology of the Bass Islands and Salina units. Further understanding of the geology should help to resolve some of the problems that affects these industries.

7 - Large-scale Underground Storage of hydrogen for the grid integration of renewable energy and other applications
Compendium of Hydrogen Energy, 2016Co-Authors: Ulrich Bünger, John Michalski, Fritz Crotogino, O. KruckAbstract:Abstract Hydrogen Underground Storage has been proposed as a solution not only for storing fluctuating renewable electricity at large scale as a chemical, but also to use the hydrogen produced via electrolysis of water for other end uses, such as a fuel for transport, a chemical feedstock for industry and an add-on/substitute to natural gas. In this chapter, the basics of large-scale Underground Storage of hydrogen are presented: hydrogen Underground Storage options and Storage potentials in Europe, benchmarking against other large-scale hydrogen Storage, aboveground and below-ground process technology, infrastructure for integration in various end uses using the case of Germany as an example, and potential actors in industry and economic considerations for the potential role of hydrogen Underground Storage in different energy markets.

HyUnder - Hydrogen Underground Storage at large scale, Part II: Methodology and results of the German Case Study
20th World Hydrogen Energy Conference WHEC 2014, 2014Co-Authors: Ulrich Bünger, O. Kruck, Hubert Landinger, D. Albes, S. Capito, D. Hustadt, Fritz Crotogino, Michael Ball, A. Becker, John MichalskiAbstract:Hydrogen Underground Storage has developed as important topic in the context of Power-to-Gas schemes, with hydrogen large scale Storage driven by the growing availability of cheap excess renewable electricity and the need of the transport sector to establish a hydrogen infrastructure across Europe. HyUnder comprises two parts, a general part (geology for and potential of hydrogen Underground Storage, below- and aboveground technology, general European energy framework and benchmarking against competing Storage technologies) and a country specific part. This paper reports on the application of the general Case Study methodology to the case of Germany. Germany has served as blueprint to analyze the potential role of large scale hydrogen Underground Storage in Europe. The corresponding Storage site specific analysis, the techno-economic simulation models and the approach to assess potential future hydrogen markets has been developed for Germany in order to better understand the role of hydrogen Storage also for five other European countries. On behalf of the industry and institute partners this report presents the details from the application of the methods and the key findings, which are a backbone of the HyUnder project.
