Hydrogen Energy Storage Systems – Storage solutions for industrial and grid-scale hydrogen energy.

The development of efficient and cost-effective Hydrogen Energy Storage Systems is crucial for utilizing green hydrogen as a reliable energy carrier and for achieving grid stability. Unlike batteries, hydrogen offers a path for seasonal energy storage and transportation over long distances. Current strategies involve storing compressed or liquefied hydrogen, or converting it into easily storable and transportable derivatives like green ammonia and green methanol.

PSUs like NTPC are exploring integrated projects combining BESS and electrolyzers for power grid applications, demonstrating the potential for hydrogen to provide long-duration energy storage. However, storage remains a technological and infrastructural challenge due to hydrogen's low volumetric energy density. Further R&D under the NGHM is aimed at advancing material-based storage technologies (e.g., metal hydrides) and developing the necessary infrastructure, including dedicated pipelines and large-scale underground cavern storage, to manage the anticipated 5 MMT production volume.
