German energy company Uniper is poised to inaugurate an underground test storage facility for hydrogen in Krummhorn, East Frisia, examining material behavior and technology durability over two years. With a depth of 1,700 meters, the cavern will trial hydrogen storage in real conditions. As hydrogen becomes pivotal in a climate-neutral economy and industrial processes, the project aims to address the growing demand for hydrogen storage in Germany. Uniper, a key player in natural gas storage, positions itself as a forerunner in shaping a European hydrogen economy. The initial hydrogen fill-up of the cavern, using 'green' hydrogen, is set for September's end, with further plans for commercial expansion based on economic feasibility. Uniper foresees a usable quantity of 250 gigawatt hours of hydrogen and potential cavern enlargement post-test phase. Moreover, the company eyes converting other caverns into hydrogen storage spaces, potentially accommodating up to 600 gigawatt hours by 2030. Lower Saxony's strategic location and infrastructure make it a prime site for advancing the hydrogen economy. The project's success is expected to contribute significantly to Germany's energy transition and economic development.
