Underground Hydrogen Storage – Storage Principles and Operations (ETR03)
Description
Hydrogen is expected to take a leading role in a renewable energy system. Hydrogen gas can be generated in various different ways (and “colours”) but its production will not follow the market demand. Hence, there will be a need of large-scale hydrogen storage in the geological subsurface.
This course will deal with the current state of the art of underground gas storage, with the special fluid properties of hydrogen and the existing experience in the field. Also, special attention will be given to policies and regulations for safe operations of underground gas (and hydrogen) storage.
Course Level: Skill
Duration: 3 days
Instructor: Leonhard Ganzer
