Salt caverns such as the one depicted here could provide a low-cost solution for the geologic storage of hydrogen. The main findings of the economic analysis, published in the International Journal of Hydrogen Energy , show that geologic limitations rather than city demand cause a larger disparity between costs from one city to the next.
