Abstract
This study investigates the technical feasibility and economic viability of utilizing depleted offshore gas reservoirs in the Dutch North Sea for underground hydrogen storage (UHS) to buffer intermittent hydrogen production from offshore wind farms in the Dutch North Sea. The research aims to address the existing knowledge gap in integrating an offshore hydrogen storage platform while considering the maximum re-useability of existing natural gas infrastructure.
