Microbial hydrogen consumption leads to a significant pH increase under high-saline-conditions: implications for hydrogen storage in salt caverns [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2023 Salt caverns have been successfully used for natural gas storage globally since the 1940s and are now under consideration for hydrogen (H2) storage, which is needed in large quantities to decarbonize the economy to finally reach a net zero by 2050.

Heat transfer in salt caverns [PDF]
International Journal of Rock Mechanics and Minings Sciences, 2019 Abstract Several aspects of the thermodynamic behavior of salt caverns containing brine, oil, natural gas, air or hydrogen are discussed. It is shown that natural convection always appears in a liquid-filled cavern. This is not true in the case of gas caverns.

Predicting microbial activity potential in salt caverns based on brine chaotropicity analysis [PDF]
Scientific ReportsSalt caverns are promising sites for hydrogen (H₂) storage, but microbial activity in these high-salinity environments poses risks, including H₂ consumption and subsequent toxic hydrogen-sulfide (H₂S) production by sulphate-reducing bacteria.

Characterization and assessment of hydrogen leakage mechanisms in salt caverns. [PDF]
Sci RepAbstractSalt caverns are widely regarded as a suitable option for the underground storage of hydrogen. However, an accurate assessment of the hydrogen leakage through the walls of salt caverns into the surrounding formations remains crucial. In this work, the flow of hydrogen into the surrounding formation is evaluated by assuming that salt rock ...
