Opportunity Title:
Subsurface Hydrogen Assessment, Storage, and Technology Acceleration (SHASTA)
Funder/Agency:
U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management (FECM)
Description:
The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management (FECM) will leverage the unique capabilities and demonstrated expertise of three National laboratories—National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL), Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL)—to determine the viability, safety, and reliability of storing pure hydrogen or hydrogen-natural gas blends in subsurface environments. The project, Subsurface Hydrogen Assessment, Storage, and Technology Acceleration (SHASTA), will receive up to $6.75 million over three years through 2024.
The project will determine the technical feasibility of hydrogen storage in subsurface systems and quantify the operational risks associated with storage in those systems. It will also develop technologies and tools that will reduce those risks. At the same time, the research effort will establish the technical basis for using the much larger capacities available in porous media storage, as well as the ability to re-use existing natural gas storage infrastructure for the hydrogen economy.
