As researchers continue innovating energy storage methods and efficiency, underground — or subsurface — storage is emerging as a possible answer to industry challenges. From storing new fuel sources like hydrogen to capturing and storing carbon emissions, Texas A&M University researchers are pursuing solutions that could lie right beneath our feet.

Since 2015, BGS and @boulbyundergroundlab (BUL) have been researching how to better understand underground hydrogen storage and compressed air energy storage (CAES) in halite (rock salt). Many gasses, including hydrogen and compressed air, could be stored in man-made caverns underground for when we need it most. Long duration energy storage, such as CAES or hydrogen energy in salt caverns, are a key component to a decarbonised, secure and affordable energy system and will allow us to balance our
