Germany can meet future hydrogen storage needs with salt caverns – econ ministry

Germany can store enough hydrogen in salt caverns alone to meet more than the maximum expected national and European demand needs, the economy ministry (BMWK) has said in a white paper on hydrogen storage, which is set to form the basis for the next government’s work on hydrogen. "Germany has ideal geological conditions to meet its own hydrogen storage needs and those of its European neighbours," the ministry wrote in a press release. "Salt caverns offer particularly great potential for the long-term storage of large quantities of hydrogen."
