Global Underground Natural Gas Storage Market to Reach $415.75 Billion by 2029, Growing at 5.2% CAGR

What Is the Expected Size and Growth Rate of the Underground Natural Gas Storage Market?
In recent times, there has been significant growth in the size of the underground natural gas storage market. The market is projected to expand from a value of $322.13 $ billion in 2024 to $339.93 $ billion in 2025, growing at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 5.5%. Factors contributing to this growth over the historical period include the expansion of the natural gas infrastructure, fast-paced urbanization and population growth, increase in the trade of liquefied natural gas, and heightened investment from both the public and private sectors.

In the upcoming years, the underground natural gas storage market is projected to experience substantial growth. The market size is estimated to reach $415.75 $ billion by 2029, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.2%. Factors such as the rise in energy consumption, growth of renewable energy resources, increased import and export of liquefied natural gas (LNG), initiatives for emergency preparedness and resilience are contributing to this growth prediction. Key trends during this forecast period include the advancement in cavern construction techniques and improved monitoring systems, expansion and upgrading of storage facilities, integration with renewable energy, an increased focus on safety and environmental impact, and the use of digital technologies.

What Factors Are Fueling Growth in the Underground Natural Gas Storage Market?
A rise in the production of natural gas is anticipated to spur the expansion of the underground natural gas storage market in the future. Predominantly composed of methane (CH4) and traces of other hydrocarbons like ethane, propane, and butane, natural gas is viewed as a cleaner replacement for other fossil fuels. Factors such as the shift towards cleaner energy, industrial development, and ensuring energy security are contributing to the increased demand for natural gas. Underground storage aids in balancing natural gas supply by storing extra gas during periods of low demand and supplying it when demand surges, which helps maintain consistent supply and pricing. This also promotes grid stability by acting as a backup during times of low renewable energy generation. For instance, the Energy Information Administration (EIA), a governmental body in the US, reported a 4.3% jump from 2022, with the US dry natural gas production amounting to 37.8 trillion cubic feet (Tcf) or 103.6 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d) in 2023. Hence, the escalating production of natural gas is set to ignite the growth of the underground natural gas storage market.

What Are the Major Trends Shaping the Underground Natural Gas Storage Market?
Key players in the underground natural gas storage sector are keen on innovating new solutions such as the hydrogen storage salt caverns initiative, which is aimed at bolstering energy security and curbing carbon emissions. The initiative concentrates on leveraging the distinct characteristics of salt formations for safe and efficient hydrogen storage. For instance, the European Consortium, a group of 17 UK-based partners headed by the UK-based natural gas storage firm Storengy, rolled out the FrHyGe project in March 2024. This undertaking, which is supported by the European Union's Clean Hydrogen Partnership with a funding of €43 million (~$46.91 million), seeks to authenticate the industrial-scale underground storage of hydrogen in salt caverns. It plans to construct an industrial model in Manosque, France, and explore its duplicate possibility in Harsefeld, Germany, for potential utilization across Europe. The project's goals involve transforming natural gas or brine salt caverns into hydrogen storage infrastructures, proving the capability of injecting and withdrawing 100 metric tons of hydrogen over cycles varying from an hour to a week, studying market penetration and supply chains, and devising strategies for replication at other European locations. Additionally, the project will evaluate environmental impacts, safety standards, and legislations prior to the implementation of the GeoH2 (Manosque) and SaltHy (Harsefeld) projects.
