“…Hydrogen is presented as an effective energy carrier which can be used efficiently with minimum greenhouse gas emissions in the processes in which it is involved [13]. The use of hydrogen in the long term for the purpose of balancing energy production with the demand of the electrical energy market is a real solution to the problem of excessive amounts and shortages of energy on the market.…”

The use of hydrogen as a non-emission energy carrier is important for the innovative development of the power-generation industry. Transmission pipelines are the most efficient and economic method of transporting large quantities of hydrogen in a number of variants. A comprehensive hydraulic analysis of hydrogen transmission at a mass flow rate of 0.3 to 3.0 kg/s (volume flow rates from 12,000 Nm3/h to 120,000 Nm3/h) was performed. The methodology was based on flow simulation in a pipeline for assumed boundary conditions as well as modeling of fluid thermodynamic parameters for pure hydrogen and its mixtures with methane. The assumed outlet pressure was 24 bar (g). The pipeline diameter and required inlet pressure were calculated for these parameters. The change in temperature was analyzed as a function of the pipeline length for a given real heat transfer model; the assumed temperatures were 5 and 25 °C. The impact of hydrogen on natural gas transmission is another important issue. The performed analysis revealed that the maximum participation of hydrogen in natural gas should not exceed 15%–20%, or it has a negative impact on natural gas quality. In the case of a mixture of 85% methane and 15% hydrogen, the required outlet pressure is 10% lower than for pure methane. The obtained results present various possibilities of pipeline transmission of hydrogen at large distances. Moreover, the changes in basic thermodynamic parameters have been presented as a function of pipeline length for the adopted assumptions.

“…Llamas and Cámara, 2014 The key issues addressed in the previous studies regarding the technical aspects of sustainability in underground gas storage are categorized as follows: capacity of storage (Hsu et al, 2012;Ramírez et al, 2010;Reitenbach et al, 2015;Simon et al, 2015), geological structure (such as depth, area, thickness, and tightness) (Hsu et al, 2012;Lewandowska-Śmierzchalska et al, 2018), and reservoir porosity and permeability (Chadwick et al, 2008;Deveci, 2018). The economic aspect, which can be considered in the site selection of underground gas storage, has impressively been considered in several studies performed by some researchers (Deveci et al, 2015;Simon et al, 2015;Tarkowski and Czapowski, 2018). Lord et al (2014) addressed the costs associated with the development and application of H2 storage facilities and stressed that the current limiting factor for widespread adoption of Hydrogen storage is the lack of economically feasible infrastructures.…”

According to the roadmap designed by the European Commission (2011), it has become mandatory for the European countries to promote renewable sources to provide their required energy by 2050 (Babonneau et al., 2016; Read et al., 2016). The main goal for this switch from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources, is to mitigate the release of CO2 into the atmosphere (Crotogino et al., 2010; Türkseven Doğrusoy and Serin, 2015; Reuß et al., 2017). However, the utilization of the renewable energy sources (RES) is Centre for Research on Settlements and Urbanism Journal of Settlements and Spatial Planning J o u r n a l h o m e p a g e: http://jssp.reviste.ubbcluj.ro One of the consequences of rapid global population growth is the increase in the energy demand. Currently, the main source of energy for various applications is fossil fuels, which are not renewable and their utilization at large scales have caused a number of environmental issues such as global warming. Hydrogen is one of the main renewable energy sources; however, its utilization has not yet been sufficiently commercialized due to some existing technical issues. For large-scale underground Hydrogen storage facilities, selecting the most suitable setup location is accounted to be a crucial factor in order to use Hydrogen as a promising and environmentally friendly energy carrier. This study aims to develop an expert judgment approach for the prioritization of criteria involving site selection of large-scale Hydrogen storage facilities to support development of modern cities and industries. In this regard, Fuzzy-Delphi methodology was used to prioritize the criteria and sub-criteria, which seemed to be most relevant for the underground Hydrogen storage site selection process. A comprehensive screening was performed in the literature and eighteen criteria from technical, economic, health, safety and environment (HST) and social points of view were extracted. A professional questionnaire was designed for the criteria prioritization and SPSS 25.0 was employed to analyse the achieved results. According to the gained results, the most important sub-criteria were identified as legal restrictions, reservoir permeability and porosity, and regional risks. Also, the findings demonstrated that HSE and technical issues of sustainability for the site selection of H2 underground storage were more underscored in comparison to economic and social criteria. It is concluded that more in-depth studies are still needed to cover more aspects of sustainability regarding site selection for underground gas storages with special focus on social dimensions.

“…Provision of appropriate caverns, in particular for LTS, is feasible if suitable salt formations are available. Such salt formations for caverns for hydrogen and CAES are available in many European countries (Crotogino, 2011;Donadei and Zander-Schiebenhöfer, 2015;Donadei et al, 2013;Simona et al, 2015). For detailed maps of potential salt caverns in Northern Germany, see Fichtner (2014).…”

In this paper, technologies are analysed that exhibit potential for mechanical and chemical energy storage on a grid scale. Those considered here are pumped storage hydropower plants, compressed air energy storage and hydrogen storage facilities. These are assessed and compared under economic criteria to answer the question of which technology is to be favoured. For this purpose, the levelised electricity cost for various dispatch scenarios -short-, medium-and long-term storage -are calculated for the present and for 2030. Fundamental indicators considered are their respective efficiencies, capital expenditure and operational expenditure, and technical service lives. From an economic point of view, today pumped hydro is the most cost-efficient short-and medium-term storage technology, closely followed by compressed air energy storage. In the future, too, there will be no fundamental change in this result, even with optimistic assumptions for the development of hydrogen storage. However, hydrogen storage is becoming more competitive and represents the most economic option in the future for long-term energy storage.
