Germany’s net-zero future needs 41TWh hydrogen storage capacity – study

Smart Energy International

For Germany to be able to store sufficient amounts of energy to achieve greenhouse gas neutrality, additional hydrogen storage facilities with a capacity of up to 41TWh must be built, a new study finds. Continued use of existing pore storage based on e.g. biogas/methane can reduce the challenges and costs,” explained Bleschke.
