Full qualification in France of large-scale HYdrogen underground storage and replication from Germany to all European countries

Descripción del proyecto

Promover la adopción del almacenamiento de H2 en Europa

El hidrógeno promete ser una fuente renovable para descarbonizar los sectores europeos de la industria y la movilidad. Sin embargo, la falta de infraestructuras y de almacenamiento de hidrógeno (H2) a gran escala en Europa es un obstáculo a su viabilidad económica y técnica para una adopción generalizada. El equipo del proyecto FrHyGe, financiado con fondos europeos, pretende dar respuesta a este reto al demostrar y validar el uso de almacenes comerciales de gas natural para la inyección y extracción de H2. Además, en el proyecto se explorará y demostrará la viabilidad de la conversión de cavernas para el almacenamiento de H2, acelerando así la acumulación de la experiencia y los datos necesarios. En el proyecto se intenta sentar las bases de un potencial de almacenamiento de H2 rentable y considerable en la Unión Europea (UE).

Objetivo

If the solution for integration of intermittent renewable sources to decarbonate the industry and mobility is hydrogen, for example with European Hydrogen Backbone initiative, large-scale storage of H2 technical feasibility and economic viability is still hampering wide EU market uptake.
FrHyGe main goal is to demonstrate and qualify in industrial environment in France the injection and withdrawal of H2 in a current natural gas commercial storage site. But FrHyGe will also deliver the conversion process and up-scale strategies to foster EU replication of H2 storage in caverns, starting with an ongoing project in Germany to accelerate know-how transfer and economic viability.
FrHyGe objectives are:
• To develop and implement two conversion processes from natural gas or brine cavern to hydrogen storage
• To demonstrate H2 storage and cyclability in a 3000 tons potential cavern with 100 cycles from 1h to 1 week
• To study the local hydrogen value chain and the techno-economic impacts on local actors and to upscale and deploy H2 storage along European Hydrogen Backbone
• To assess the risks and environmental impacts of H2 cyclic storage in salt caverns and provide guidelines for safety, regulation and normative adaptations in Europe
FrHyGe will open a path towards a potential of commercial 38 ktons of H2 storage in several EU countries as soon as 2030, and up to 1.5 Mtons in 2050 through conversion and creation of caverns, leading to a CAPEX below 10 €/Kg of H2 stored.
To succeed, FrHyGe gathers EU leading H2 industries and research centres, led by worldwide underground storage actor Storengy, willing to make happen large-scale and multi-site H2 storage in caverns.
