Details

From a technical and economic point of view, storing hydrogen in salt caverns is the most promising solution. The buffering of hydrogen to balance production and consumption requires the injection and extraction of large quantities of hydrogen in a short period of time. Therefore, caverns are being realised, which are particularly well suited to supply hydrogen quickly. Zuidwending, in the northern province of Groningen has the ideal subsoil for realising salt caverns and there is already natural gas in six caverns stored. On this fieldtrip, you will visit the EnergyStock installation of HyStock and discuss the near future, hear about their plans and challenges. Hystock will share their knowledge and results of the lifecycle Hydrogen test of a cavern (200 bar). You will also see our Hydrogen value chain demonstration installation. 3MW solar, 1 MW PEM electrolyser, compressor 300b, trailer loadstation, 100% H2 heater and fleetowner HRS. HyStock will share all the lessons learned!
