Sandia study finds underground geologic storage of hydrogen could boost transportation, energy security

Green Car Congress

Salt caverns such as the one depicted here could provide a low-cost solution for the geologic storage of hydrogen. Storage above ground requires tanks, which cost three to five times more than geologic storage, Lord said. Even so, Los Angeles’ modeled costs are significantly less than those for Detroit and Pittsburgh.
