Description

Underground Hydrogen Storage Market Summary

The global underground hydrogen storage market demand was estimated at 2780.67 MCM in 2024 and is projected to reach 6,249.05 MCM by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 9.2% from 2025 to 2033. The market is expected to grow steadily during the forecast period, driven by supportive government policies, increasing net-zero targets, and heightened focus on hydrogen as a clean energy carrier for industry, transport, and power generation sectors.

Growing investments in green hydrogen infrastructure and rising adoption of renewable energy sources are accelerating the demand for safe and scalable hydrogen storage technologies. Underground hydrogen storage involves storing hydrogen gas in large geological formations such as salt caverns, depleted oil and gas fields, or aquifers, enabling the buffering of supply and demand in large-scale hydrogen energy systems. This method stabilizes hydrogen supply chains by offering long-duration energy storage solutions essential for decarbonized energy grids. Advancements in subsurface engineering and the repurposing of existing gas storage facilities further enhance underground hydrogen storage's commercial viability.

Underground hydrogen storage is primarily used to balance supply and demand in hydrogen energy systems and support large-scale hydrogen deployment. While smaller above-ground storage solutions exist, they are not economically viable for handling seasonal fluctuations or industrial-scale volumes. Therefore, geological formations like salt caverns, depleted oil and gas fields, and aquifers are increasingly utilized due to their high capacity and long-duration storage capabilities. Projects integrating underground hydrogen storage with green hydrogen production and fuel cell deployment, particularly in Europe, the United States, and Asia-Pacific countries like Japan and Australia, are gaining momentum. Supportive regulatory frameworks, national hydrogen strategies, and investment in hydrogen hubs are key factors driving the development of underground hydrogen storage infrastructure.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
