International summer school discussing recent state of the art and advances in underground hydrogen storage, an emerging solution for renewable energy storage.
As the global energy landscape shifts toward renewables like wind and solar, the need for large-scale, flexible energy storage becomes increasingly urgent. Hydrogen, with its high energy density and clean combustion, stands out as a key enabler of this transition.
Underground geological formations—including depleted hydrocarbon reservoirs, saline aquifers, and salt caverns—offer a promising solution for large-scale and long-term storage.
Underground Hydrogen Storage (UHS) is therefore emerging as a critical technology for balancing energy supply and demand at scale. This summer school will explore the science, engineering, and cross-cutting dimensions of UHS.
Participants from academia, industry and government will gain insights into recent case studies, policy & regulation, techno-economics, geo-technical feasibility, fundamental subsurface processes, natural hydrogen synergies and public engagement.
