Hydrogen energy storage project

Where would hydrogen be stored?

The hydrogen would be stored in the Advanced Clean Energy Storage Project’s salt caverns, which are natural geological formations providing safe, reliable, and cost-effective bulk storage of hydrogen.

What is the Intermountain Power Agency's hydrogen storage project?

The project will store hydrogen generated by the Intermountain Power Agency’s IPP Renewed Project – an 840 MW hydrogen-capable gas turbine combined cycle power plant located in the area.

What projects are included in the hydrogen infrastructure projects database?

Projects in planning or under construction are also included. The Hydrogen Infrastructure Projects Database covers all projects under development worldwide of hydrogen pipelines, underground storage facilities and import/export terminals dedicated to low-emissions hydrogen and hydrogen-based fuels.

What is a hydrogen project?

It includes projects that have the objective either to reduce emissions associated with producing hydrogen for existing applications, or to use hydrogen as an energy carrier or industrial feedstock in new applications that have the potential to be a low-emissions technology option. Projects in planning or under construction are also included.

Will a hydrogen power station work as planned?

The nearby coal-fired power station has been a reliable employer for nearly 40 years. If it works as planned, the hydrogen project will be an alternative to the utility-scale chemical storage batteries that have been installed to quickly provide energy to the nation’s power grid.

Is hydrogen an energy storage carrier?

“We’re making hydrogen as an energy storage carrier.” In the United States, the Biden administration has focused intently on hydrogen, last fall awarding a total of $7 billion in development money to seven proposed regional hubs to spur the use of the gas in various industries.
