Whilst winter is often fondly associated with freshly fallen snow caressing the base of trees draped in shimmering crystal, this hydrogen winter is more reminiscent of the still, dark quietness of winter, writes Ravin Mirchandani,...

Nathan Snoke, Global Hydrogen Account Manager at Halliburton, tells H2 View, how he hopes to see both hydrogen and Halliburton “achieve widespread global adoption of underground hydrogen storage.”

“But I think the most important thing is that we take little steps, because as humans we’ve got to start to learn new skills and embrace technology,” Simon Hyde told the H2 View webinar.

Effective, cheap and safe hydrogen storage technologies are critical to underpinning the success of the energy carrier. Typically, hydrogen is stored in its gaseous form, in high-pressure cylinders, supercooled into its liquid form or stored...

Bureaucratic delays have stalled the UK’s hydrogen progress, putting supply chains at risk and jeopardising critical goals.

“When it comes to centralised, large-scale crackers, the high cost of platinum group metals quickly makes them a prohibitive option.”

“If you want to store really large volumes of energy from one season or another, or for large industrial use cases, then hydrogen storage is considered the way to go,” Uniper tells H2 View.

“Some of our cylinders were made in the 1930s…It really just supports how important it is to keep our maintenance and inspection regime relevant.”

“We are creating security for everyone involved – from hydrogen producers at home and abroad to the operators of power plants and storage facilities and future industrial users.”
