Objective To demonstrate the feasibility of an underground cryogenic storage in limestone for liquified gas. The project is devided in several phases: 1. Laboratory test in limestone to appreciate the feasibility of the test plant: 2. To design, build and operate a test gallery in limestone. The 5 000 m3 test gallery is to be built in limestone in lavera near marseilles: 3. To interprete the results of the test gallery and conclude on the feasibility of an industrial plant in limestone. RESULTS: The test laboratory allowed to include that it is theoretically possible to store lpg and lng in limestone, but a test plant is needed to confirm this conclusion.
