Abstract: Hydrogen (H2) is a vital component of future decarbonized and sustainable energy systems. As an energy carrier, hydrogen can play a significant role in the security, affordability, and decarbonization of energy systems. Aquifers are the second-most economically-attractive option for geological hydrogen storage after depleted oil and gas reservoirs. For a successful storage project, a reasonably-high recovery of stored hydrogen is projected. Aquifers represent the most environmentally-friendly type of underground storage and are sometimes the only accessible geological formations for hydrogen storage.
