JEA Hydrogen TCP Task 42
SaltPower will partielpate in IEA Hydrogen TCP Task 42 with knowledge about energy efficiency in building new caverns for storage of hydrogen in the future. We will work with ether partners to develop recommendations for Best Available Technology.
Future large scale hydrogen storage will likely take place in caverns in salt structures, since this is a safe and cost effective solution. SaltPower has developed a technology to turn solution mining from an energy consuming operation into an energy neutral or net energy producing technology. This is done by means of Pressure Retarded Osmosis (PRO) where fresh water and high salinity brine are passed on each side of a semipermeable membrane.
The power produced can be used as hydraulic power to pump the freshwater to the cavern. The power supplied by the PRO unit can fully substitute the electrical pumps normally used. In some cases, excess electricity can be produced. This turns solution mining from an energy negative to an energy neutral or positive operation.
SaltPower has participated in 2 project meetings and plan to participate in future project meetings and will join a workshop in November in Bruxelles, Belgium.
