Large-scale subversive storage of H2 (UHS) includes injecting hydrogen into a geological establishment. This technology plays an important function in the low-diffusion energy structure by providing the large depository capacities wanted to buffer migratory energy demand. It allows the cautious storage of abundant volumes of hydrogen, at press, with extreme energy densities, outside the environmental impact caused by surface tanks. Gas maybe stored in absorbent sandstone or carbonate formations, and in caverns shoveled or extracted by separation in the rock. The Poza de la Sal diapir is a closed circular cavity with Cretaceous Mesozoic matters, formed by gypsum, Keuper clays, and a big extension of seasoning in the center accompanying intercalations of ophite. The low tectonic activity of the region, the reduced permeability and porosity of the seasoning caverns and the proximity to the Páramo de Poza wind park, make it a appropriate place for the construction of an subversive storage of green hydrogen got from of surplus wind power. An able design of the well allows to complete activity the leaching process to build the cavern and the after injection and distillation of H2. In the design of the cavern, allure shape influences the stability and security, suggesting the capsular shape with a deliberate volume of 515,355 m3. The building of two storage caverns by leaching process at a wisdom of 1000 m with equal ranges, taking into account in their design the distinctness in tensions, hotness and confinement pressure complicated in the process of deformation of the seasoning, allows to complete activity simultaneously the dose in one of ruling class and the production of hydrogen in the different. Among the operating parameters, the insight of the base of the cavity and the average temperature of the hollow in land formation will determine the maximum and minimum principles of hydrogen density, 11.4 kg/m3 and 4.51 kg/m3 individually. The injection and ancestry ratio must perform in conditions of geomechanical security of the cavity, so as to underrate the risks to the environment and society, being conditioned to the smoke pressure inside the cavity to wait in a maximum and minimum range. Part of the stored hydrogen (base vapor or cushion gas volume) will wait in the cavity so that maintain the minimum operating pressure, leaving the rest of the stocked hydrogen (working smoke volume) for origin when required for use, being the maximum working pressure when the cavity is adequate. The maximum total storage ability will be determined established the energy that maybe supplied for one WP Páramo de Poza, as well as the working hydrogen necessary to refill the crater.
