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

Green Car Congress

The main findings of the economic analysis, published in the International Journal of Hydrogen Energy , show that geologic limitations rather than city demand cause a larger disparity between costs from one city to the next. Such storage options, Dedrick said, are needed to realize the full potential of hydrogen for transportation.
