Global Underground Gas Storage Market Size study & Forecast, by Product (Natural Gas, Hydrogen, Others), by Storage Type (Depleted Gas Reservoir, Aquifer Reservoir, Salt Caverns, Others) and Regional Analysis, 2022-2029
Global Underground Gas Storage Market is valued at approximately USD XX billion in 2021 and is anticipated to grow with a healthy growth rate of more than XX% over the forecast period 2022-2029. Underground Gas Storage (UGS) facilities have the geological characteristics to store natural gas for extended periods of time. The main purpose of natural gas storage facilities is to accommodate seasonal demand. During times of low demand, the gas is stored, and during times of peak demand, it is retrieved from storage. Large storage underground gas reservoirs are used to store natural gas. Salt caverns, aquifer reservoirs, and depleted gas reservoirs are the three different kinds of underground natural gas storage facilities. The market growth is primarily driven by the factors such as the growing need for underground natural gas, ongoing industrialization, and surging demand for underground hydrogen storage.
In addition, the high production of natural gas is directly associated with market demand across the globe. For instance, the largest natural gas reserves in the world present in Russia, with complete resources at 38 TCM (1,341 trillion cubic meters). There are more than 170 storage locations in Europe, 42% of which are in Germany, with a total capacity of 4,269.6 bcf (billion cubic feet) of subterranean gas. Additionally, as per the U.S. Energy Information Administration, there are more than 400 operating underground gas storage facilities in the US. Furthermore, rising investment in the discovery of gas reservoirs, as well as increasing expenditure on constructing new gas storage facilities are presenting various lucrative opportunities over the forecasting years. However, the high storage cost is a challenging factor for the market growth throughout the forecast period of 2022-2029.
The key regions considered for the Global Underground Gas Storage Market study include Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, Latin America, and the Rest of the World. North America dominated the market in terms of revenue, owing to the presence of large reserves of natural gas in the U.S. and Canada, along with the favorable government regulations for low carbon content fuels compared to other fossil fuels. Whereas, the Asia Pacific is expected to grow with the highest CAGR during the forecast period, owing to factors such as the growing investment in underground gas storage and the development of new facilities, as well as increasing exploration and production of natural gas and hydrogen in the market space.
