Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of underground hydrogen production technology, specifically relating to an underground hydrogen production storage and transportation system. Background Technology
[0002] The excessive use of fossil fuels has led to excessive carbon dioxide emissions, and the resulting global warming has made the energy transition a critical global issue. Hydrogen is the most abundant element in nature, with a wide range of sources. One cubic meter of hydrogen produces 12.7 megajoules of energy through combustion, while one cubic meter of methane produces 40 megajoules of heat. Although hydrogen has a low calorific value, it has the highest specific energy among all fuels, and the final product of hydrogen in fuel cells or combustion is water, with no carbon dioxide or other pollutants emitted during the process. Therefore, hydrogen energy is considered the best clean energy source for the future and has great development potential. Using the non-recurring electricity generated from renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, hydro, and geothermal energy for hydrogen production through water electrolysis, storage, and stable supply is one of the important solutions to mitigate global warming and its negative impacts.
[0003] However, hydrogen has a low energy density, making its storage a global challenge, especially for large-scale storage. Due to significant losses during hydrogen liquefaction, the process is complex and costly, making compressed gaseous storage the only viable option for large-scale hydrogen storage. Compared to above-ground storage, underground hydrogen storage offers advantages in terms of safety, environmental friendliness, storage capacity, and investment costs. Furthermore, underground hydrogen storage can ensure national energy security, fully utilize underground storage space, and play a crucial role in improving energy efficiency, reducing emissions, lowering storage costs, peak shaving, and ensuring a safe and stable gas supply.
[0004] The scheme disclosed in Chinese invention patent (CN108529124A) involves preparatory work such as geological selection, tubing material selection, cavity airtightness testing, and stability and airtightness analysis and evaluation to store hydrogen in a salt cavern cavity. This method can prevent problems such as hydrogen leakage and hydrogen embrittlement of tubing materials that may occur during salt cavern hydrogen storage. However, salt cavern cavities have high requirements for geological conditions, requiring the existence of a very thick salt dome stratum for cavity operation. It is evident that existing underground hydrogen storage methods suffer from problems such as significant hydrogen loss or being constrained by geological conditions. For the underground hydrogen production industry, the geological conditions of hydrogen-producing strata are usually insufficient to meet the requirement of immediate production and storage. Furthermore, transporting and storing the produced hydrogen after extraction will cause certain losses during the transportation process, and the extraction and transportation processes also consume certain resources.
[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need to provide a new method for hydrogen storage and transportation to solve the aforementioned problems in existing technologies. Summary of the Invention

The hydrogen storage space 21 is formed by modifying a depleted / abandoned oil reservoir and is located adjacent to the hydrogen-producing reservoir 1. A sealing isolation layer 5 is provided on the inner wall of the hydrogen storage space 21 to seal and isolate the hydrogen within it.

The skeleton layer 521 is a reinforced concrete layer with steel bars as the skeleton. The steel bar skeleton extends into the rock wall 7 of the depleted / abandoned oil reservoir and is fixed and locked to the rock wall 7. The connecting layer 522 is arranged close to the sealing layer 51 and is connected to the steel sealing layer 51 by welding. Through the above-mentioned structure, the isolation layer 52 can effectively support and protect the steel sealing layer 51, which is conducive to ensuring the structural strength of the entire hydrogen storage space 21.

The bottom end of the vertical shaft 221 is connected to the hydrogen storage space 21, and the top end of the shaft 221 is located on the ground surface and can be connected to the hydrogen transmission network through the gas extraction pipe 222. The gas extraction pipe 222 is used to extract the hydrogen stored in the hydrogen storage space 21 and transport it to the hydrogen pipeline network for subsequent hydrogen packaging and transportation. The gas injection pipe 223, together with the aforementioned gas recycling device 4, can realize hydrogen production treatment operations such as nitrogen and sulfur dioxide in the hydrogen-producing reservoir 1. It can also realize the injection of iron ion solution into the hydrogen-producing reservoir 1 for sterilization treatment. Afterwards, reducing gas is introduced into the oil-water interface in the reservoir to realize sterilization pretreatment before hydrogen production. It can also realize the injection of hydrogen-producing bacteria and the introduction of nitrogen into the hydrogen storage space 21 to realize cushion gas operation to ensure hydrogen storage safety and facilitate hydrogen extraction.
