France's Terega, HDF join forces to launch green hydrogen salt cavity storage by 2024

摘要

French natural gas storage operator Terega and French hydrogenproducer HDF have signed an agreement to develop and offer storagecapacity for hydrogen in a salt cavity by 2024, Terega said July 7.This project, also known as HyGeo, aims to study the undergroundstorage of energy via so-called "green" hydrogen, obtained byelectrolysis of water, therefore without emission of greenhouse gases.This non-polluting hydrogen will be stored in an abandonedgeological cavity previously used for the storage of hydrocarbons.Using high-power fuel cells supplied by HDF, the stored hydrogen willgenerate electricity, Terega said.
