Green energy companies explore salt cavern storage for hydrogen in Canada for clean energy applications.
Green energy companies are investigating the use of underground salt caverns for hydrogen storage, with potential sites in Canada being explored. Companies such as Triple Point Resources are focusing on the Fischell Salt Dome in Newfoundland, which could become one of the largest green energy storage facilities in eastern North America. Salt caverns have been used by the petroleum industry for hydrocarbon storage, and interest in using them for hydrogen storage is growing as countries seek to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Hydrogen can be used in transport, industrial settings, and for electrification, and it can be produced using clean energy sources such as wind and solar power.
