  Innovative Polymerized Sulfur-Based Composite Material for Underground Storage of Hydrogen
  Author(s): Abdel Mohsen O. Mohamed* and Maisa M. El Gamal
  
  Underground energy storage in high-pressurized lined rock caverns is emerging as a viable solution for storing large volumes of energy in the form of pressurized gases, such as hydrogen and natural gas. This technology is particularly advantageous due to its potential to ensure the containment of gases with high specific energy in shallow rock formations, while operating under ambient temperature conditions. This paper (a) investigates the development of a novel polymerized sulfur-based composite material (PSCM) made of recyclable materials from oil and gas production industry (i.e., elemental sulfur) and steel manufacturing (i.e., Ladle-Furnace Slag (LFS) and Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (GGBFS)); and (b) optimizes the composite proportions within the formed PSCM to enhance its physico-mechanical properties, such as packing density, compressive strength, and splitting tensile..
