Microbial Studies for Underground Hydrogen Storage in the Onshore Otway Basin Experimental and modelling studies

Summary

Microbes in underground storage sites can degrade stored hydrogen into methane, reducing its purity and recoverability. This Australian study investigated microbial activity in the Otway Basin through both laboratory experiments and computational modelling under simulated reservoir conditions. The research, now completed, provides critical data on hydrogen and methane concentration changes, contributing to the safe and efficient long-term storage of hydrogen.
