That paper explores the production and utilisation of clean hydrogen as a sustainable energy source, with a focus on the storage of hydrogen in underground caverns. The purpose is to assess the feasibility and benefits of using hydrogen as a clean energy alternative, particularly through large-scale storage solutions. The methodology involves a detailed review of current hydrogen production techniques, such as electrolysis using renewable energy, and the geological and technical aspects of cavern storage. The findings indicate that while hydrogen production is becoming increasingly efficient, cavern storage offers a viable solution for managing supply and demand, ensuring energy security. Practical implications include the potential for large-scale energy storage, enhancing grid stability, and supporting the transition to a low-carbon economy. Social implications involve reducing greenhouse gas emissions and promoting sustainable energy practices. The originality of the paper lies in its integration of hydrogen production and cavern storage, highlighting their combined potential for a sustainable energy future.
