Hydrogen Storage in European Subsurface
On June 4-8 2023, the 11th World Congress of Chemical Engineering #WCCE11 took place in Buenos Aires (Argentina), organized by the Argentinian Association of Chemical Engineers (AAIQ). Under the global theme: ‘The global chemical engineering working for a better...
We have been pleased to present the Hystories project in the excellent GeoScience & GeoEnergy webinar ! Please watch for an overview of the project as of Fall 2022. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cgAJHgZ-EiU&t=2s
Hydrogen storage resource was assessed from trap volumetric characteristics collected within Hystories for EU-27 countries and neighboring countries (United Kingdom, Türkiye, Norway, Ukraine). The total capacity computations for the 800 onshore and offshore traps...
Hydrogen is an important energy source for variety of microorganisms on this planet. In oxygen-free, subsurface environments with limited electron donors, hydrogen plays a central role in energy metabolisms of anaerobic microorganisms. Sulfate-reducing prokaryotes,...
As part of work package WP4 “Material and Corrosion”, it is planned to test several metallic materials under hydrogen environment. It is admitted that Heat Affected Zone (HAZ) in a welding can be more sensitive to hydrogen embrittlement. As a matter of fact, thermic...
European Network for Research in Geo-Energy ENeRG, the European Network for Research in Geo-Energy, in its latest newsletter (issue no43 / July 2021), dedicate a very interesting article to the Hystories project. You can read it here. The European geo-energy...
In the course of work package WP4 of the Hystories project, a material characterization of selected steels was carried out by the Chair of General and Analytical Chemistry, at the Montanuniversitaet Leoben. For the further experiments, it is essentially to obtain a...
Experience in pure hydrogen storage in porous media or aquifer is yet to be built There is industrial experience for pure hydrogen storage stored underground in salt caverns: storage has been undertaken since 1972 in Europe (at Teeside, UK), only a decade after...
Hystories is a European research project working on pure hydrogen storage in depleted fields or aquifers. Renewable hydrogen combined with large scale underground storage enables transportation of energy through time, balancing out the impacts of variable...
