Germany has the highest potential underground storage capacity for hydrogen in Europe. As of 2021, Germany had a working gas capacity of 255 terawatt hours, which could potentially translate into a hydrogen storage capacity of 61.4 terawatt hours. Gas may be stored below ground in salt caverns, depleted gas fields, aquifers, and hard rock caverns.
