Bulk <strong>hydrogen</strong> storage as strategic <strong>energy</strong> reserve to<br />
guarantee national and global <strong>energy</strong><br />
• Need for strategic <strong>energy</strong> reserve with 100% reliability to meet<br />
demand in periods of low availability of renewables, and during major<br />
breakdowns or catastrophes (such as volcanic eruptions, cyclones,<br />
bushfires, floods, or droughts, or wars or terrorist attacks)<br />
• Bulk <strong>hydrogen</strong> storages as integral parts of offshore, coastal and<br />
inland <strong>hydrogen</strong> centres can meet this need:<br />
– role akin to fossil fuels today, except that <strong>hydrogen</strong> can be<br />
regularly replenished using the earth’s renewable <strong>energy</strong> income<br />
