Geoengineering of Hydrogen Energy dispenses fundamental knowledge on hydrogen geostorage paired with recent advances to form a cohesive resource designed to further understanding of a topic essential to the energy transition. The energy sector is undergoing a fast-paced shift towards cleaner energy sources to achieve set net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. Hydrogen underground storage can be used as an energy carrier to reduce dependence on fossil fuels and facilitate the energy transition towards net-zero. This book distils basics including hydrogen resources and characteristics, relevant concepts and theories, hydrogen geostorage fundamentals and hydrodynamics, basic biotic and abiotic reactions, geo-mechanical properties and sealing efficiency of different rock strata, then progresses to assess hydrogen transportation and storage challenges and geostorage implications, evaluates economic feasibility, environmental and social impacts, and offers insights to pave the road for successful hydrogen storage. Drawing from a synthesis of contemporary global laboratory investigations, modelling approaches and breakthroughs, pilots, case studies and hydrogen storage projects, this unified volume collects, filters and summarizes developments to deliver a comprehensive resource in this fast-growing field. Led by an accoladed engineering expert with over 40 years of combined industrial and academic experience, this book fills the knowledge gap of currently fragmented literature to connect this valuable aspect of hydrogen energy to the full-scale energy transition scope. Throughout, it considers critical questions of viability and sustainability with a goal of increasing understanding of fundamentals and furthering applications of hydrogen subsurface storage. Geoengineering of Hydrogen Energy meets the diverse needs of academia and industry by providing a combination of hydrogen subsurface storage basics, advances and applications, making it suitable for university students interested in energy, environmental and industrial disciplines and relevant to energy engineering researchers, and practicing energy engineers.
