Hydrogen as energy storage

Hello,

we would like to consider hydrogen as a storage technology for the presentation of a future energy system. So far I have not been able to find suitable data set(s). So far, I have only found data sets on hydrogen from the chemical industry.

If I have overlooked appropriate data sets, I would be very happy to hear from you. Otherwise, I would be interested to know if there are plans to represent hydrogen as an energy storage technology and a broader variety of energy storage technologies overall?

Many thanks in advanceSophie

Dear Sophie,

You are correct, currently the only hydrogen producing dataset is ‘hydrogen production, gaseous, petroleum refinery operation’. We have several datasets producing hydrogen as a by-product. You can find all these datasets by filtering the activity overview for ‘hydrogen’ in the ‘product name’ column. We are very interested in having more data on hydrogen as energy storage, so should you have any lead on data we would be happy to hear from you.

Best regards,
