China's Groundbreaking Hydrogen Storage Initiative in Henan Province
Key Ideas
  • Awarding ceremony held for Asia's first large-scale deep underground salt cavern project for hydrogen storage in Henan Province, China.
  • Project by China Pingmei Shenma group includes a salt cavern hydrogen storage demonstration project with a planned capacity of 1.5 million cubic meters.
  • Salt caverns chosen for their sealing properties, large capacity, low cost, and safety for hydrogen storage.
  • Construction ongoing with completion of geological assessments, drilling operations, and operational testing.
In Henan Province, China, an awarding ceremony was held for a major hydrogen storage initiative, marking the commencement of Asia's first large-scale deep underground salt cavern project for hydrogen storage. The project, led by China Pingmei Shenma group, includes a salt cavern hydrogen storage demonstration project with a planned capacity of 1.5 million cubic meters. Salt caverns are being utilized due to their excellent sealing properties, large storage capacity, low cost, and high safety levels. The project has completed geological assessments, process design, and drilling operations, with cavity creation and operational testing currently in progress. China Pingmei Shenma group owns significant salt field resources, making the fields capable of providing over one million cubic meters of physical storage volume annually. This innovative approach showcases the country's commitment to advancing hydrogen storage technology for a sustainable future.
