EBN and H2SEA host workshop on Underground Hydrogen Storage

Energie Beheer Nederland (EBN) and H2SEA hosted a highly informative workshop on Underground Hydrogen Storage (UHS) at EBN’s office in Utrecht on October 10th, attracting approximately 40 industry professionals. The workshop facilitated in-depth discussions and explored the future of underground hydrogen storage, a crucial component in the energy transition.

The morning session featured presentations from EBN and H2SEA. EBN provided a technical introduction to the underground characteristics of reservoirs, while H2SEA delivered a comprehensive overview of topside facilities, highlighting both the opportunities and challenges of underground hydrogen storage. Both organisations presented insights from their joint research on hydrogen storage.

In the afternoon, participants engaged in interactive brainstorming sessions, discussing innovative strategies and potential pathways for the development of underground hydrogen storage.

The workshop was highly successful, generating numerous in-depth questions from industry experts and providing valuable insights from H2SEA and EBN.
