Lined Rock Caverns for Flexible Hydrogen Storage – Phase 2

Abstract

This project advances lined rock caverns (LRCs) as a flexible hydrogen storage solution in WWU’s area by moving from regional screening to site‑specific pre‑feasibility. It refines geology and site availability, shortlists candidate sites in South Wales and South West England, conducts a detailed pre‑feasibility study with borehole core analysis at a priority site, and assesses commercial models and funding routes, culminating in a final report to inform decisions on progressing to full feasibility.

The project will generate new learning on UK‑specific geological suitability and risks for mined LRCs, practical site constraints and permitting routes, geomechanical parameters derived from borehole cores, site‑specific conceptual designs and cost benchmarks, and realistic commercial and funding approaches for early LRC deployment in areas without salt geology.
