Solar and wind power intermittency and demand non-coincidence require storage. Hydrogen energy storage is one of the only options with sufficient storage capacity. Hydrogen can provide seasonal storage, zero emissions fuel and chemical feedstock. Gas grid can evolve, store and distribute increasing hydrogen amounts at low cost.

Hydrogen offers a potential energy storage medium because of its versatility. The gas can be produced by electrolysis of water, making it easy to integrate with electricity generation. Once made, the hydrogen can be burned in thermal power plants to generate electricity again or it can be used as the energy source for fuel cells.
Hydrogen storage offers several opportunities that make it an attractive option for energy storage and distribution. Some of the opportunities for hydrogen storage are. 1. Decarbonization: Hydrogen storage can improve energy security by enabling the storage and distribution of energy from diverse sources.
Although the technological cost of hydrogen used for transportation is high because of its long chain and low efficiency from electrolysis water to fuel-cell, the cost of hydrogen used for electric energy storage is low , giving it a competitive advantage in the long-term-fixed large-scale energy storage scenario.
In the 2050-2070 time frame, hydrogen with as much as two weeks of stored energy is forecast to be a cost-effective storage method based on projected power and energy capacity capital costs. In addition, because hydrogen can be used in other sectors, such as transportation and agriculture, that could provide additional revenue streams.
The utilization of hydrogen in energy storage, although still in its infancy, holds substantial promise for broader decarbonization efforts. Despite the inefficiencies in round-trip energy conversions, hydrogen emerges as an …
