Underground gas storage as a promising natural methane bioreactor and reservoir?

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Employing deep reservoirs as UGS (underground gas storage) has a long history across continents. In 2018, 689 underground gas reservoirs with a total volume of 417 bcm were in operation worldwide. It is known that many microbial processes take place in the deep underground, even under the conditions of underground gas reser-voirs. In this review, we focus mainly on methanogenesis and discuss related topics such as optimal environ-mental conditions, description of different types of UGS and microbial communities inhabiting these environments. We elucidate the potential of UGS as natural bioreactors for non-fossil methane production in the context of Power to Methane technology and the extension/expansion of the low-carbon economy. The role of carbon-neutral methane in the energy mix is likely to play a significant role in the coming decades. The safe production, transportation and storage of methane are well managed as well the existing infrastructure has been in place for a long time without problems. We also have experience in the long-term operation of underground gas storage systems. Methane technology thus appears to be a very promising approach and, together with the functioning UGS infrastructure, could be an important step towards the potential use of biomethanation in underground gas storage facilities as a way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the future.
