A Techno-Economical Analysis of Hydrogen as Long-Term Storage Medium in the Netherlands: How long-term hydrogen storage helps to achieve energy security in an energy system dominated by variable renewable energy sources

The integration of Variable Renewable Energy Sources (VRES) creates challenges for meeting load demand. The lack of on-demand power generation of these VRES effectively threatens energy security. Therefore, storage facilities, especially hydrogen, have been broadly researched for potential implementation in our energy system, enabling on-demand...

Seasonal Hydrogen Storage in Dutch Depleted Gas Reservoirs: A Feasibility Study for The Netherlands

The Netherlands will need to transform her traditionally fossil fueled energy system in the coming decades to achieve the goal of reducing CO2 emissions to net-zero in 2050. Therefore, an increase in renewable energy sources as solar and wind energy in the overall energy mix will be essential. However, due to the highly variable energy...

Impacts of progressive urban expansion on subsurface temperatures in the city of Amsterdam (The Netherlands)

Subsurface temperatures are substantially higher in urban areas than in surrounding rural environments; the result is a subsurface urban heat island (SUHI). SUHIs and their drivers have received attention in studies world-wide. In this study, a well-constrained data set of subsurface temperatures from Amsterdam, The Netherlands, is presented....
