When power is abundant, it’s drawn from the electric grid and used to power a large air compressor, which pushes pressurized air into an underground geologic storage structure. The PNNL-BPA study examined a different approach: using natural, porous rock reservoirs that are deep underground to store renewable energy.

Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the Universe but, on earth, it must normally be extracted from water or organic compounds. This renewable production capacity is increasingly important to ensure the existing power grid can accept more renewable sources. Myth #2: Hydrogen gas is dangerous to store and use.
