UK Oil & Gas (UKOG) has revealed its plans for a second underground hydrogen storage project in the southwest of England, specifically in Dorset. The company has acquired land and mineral rights near a planned hydrogen pipeline in south Dorset. The project will be situated in the Dorset Triassic salt deposit, chosen for its suitability for hydrogen storage, with an expected capacity of up to 10 terawatt-hours (TWh) of working storage annually. CEO Stephen Sanderson expressed optimism about the location's potential to create large underground caverns efficiently. Salt formations like the Dorset Triassic salt deposit are favored for hydrogen storage due to their stability and impermeability, ensuring safe storage. The project will progress with finalizing lease agreements, design studies, and a planning application to facilitate the development of this significant infrastructure for hydrogen storage in the UK.
