Hydrogen energy storage involves using surplus electricity to produce hydrogen—typically via electrolysis—which can then be stored and later converted back to electricity using fuel cells, combustion turbines, or engines. . Hydrogen is among the technologies with the greatest potential for seasonal energy storage in the future. Learn how hydrogen energy storage works, different means of utilizing hydrogen for energy storage, and other applications. Department of Energy (DOE), NLR develops comprehensive storage solutions, with a focus on hydrogen storage material properties, storage system configurations, interface requirements, and well-to-wheel analyses.
