Recognising the pressing challenge of climate change and the increasing use of intermittently produced
renewable energy sources (RES) by many EU member states, H2eart for Europe emphasizes the need for
clean storage options capable of providing necessary flexibility.
ENGLISH VERSION: The Initiative Energien Speichern e.V. (INES), representing leading operators of German gas and hydrogen storage facilities, and "H2eart for Europe," a European alliance dedicated to accelerating the adoption of Underground Hydrogen Storage (UHS) technologies, proudly announce their partnership.
GERMAN VERSION: Die Initiative Energien Speichern e.V. (INES) und H2eart for Europe geben ihre Partnerschaft
bekannt. Ziel der Partnerschaft ist das Vorantreiben von unterirdischen
Wasserstoffspeicherprojekten und das Decken von dringendem Flexibilitätsbedarf.
GERMAN VERSION: EWE und H2eart for Europe geben ihre neue Partnerschaft bekannt und unterstützen gemeinsam die
Entwicklung von Technologien zur unterirdischen Wasserstoffspeicherung in ganz Europa.
ENGLISH VERSION: EWE and H2eart for Europe announce their new partnership and join forces to support the development of
Underground Hydrogen Storage (UHS) technologies across Europe.
The first operating phase of HyStorage with a 5% hydrogen blend was successfully completed end of
January 2024. The partner companies presented the first interim results of the research project, which
examines the integrity of porous rock formations for the storage of hydrogen.
All this positive spirit received at the Launch Event in Brussels this week motivates in chairing this new Alliance together with Michael Schmöltzer (Uniper Energy Storage) and Carole Le- Henaff (Storengy).
LONDON (ICIS)–The European Underground Hydrogen Storage Alliance launched H2eart for Europe on 23 January with the aim to provide reports and analysis surrounding hydrogen storage across Europe.
H2eart for Europe released a report entitled “The role of underground hydrogen storage in Europe” at the same time, which ICIS has summarised in the below infogram.
