Description
The goal of the Hydrogen underground (HUG) project is to study the systemic structure of an underground hydrogen storage facility built in rock. The research project covers the entire hydrogen value chain and examines the construction of the storage from planning to the operation and maintenance phase. Hydrogen can be produced by many methods, but promoting the use of green hydrogen produced by renewable, emission-free methods is part of the green transition, which aims to reduce the progress of climate change. The large-volume hydrogen storage built into the rock balances the seasonality of green hydrogen production and thus guarantees use in different industrial sectors.
The research partners of the HUG project are the coordinator VTT and GTK, in addition 14 organizations are involved in the research consortium. The project consists of six work packages that work in close cooperation with each other and with the participating companies.
The project also involves international cooperation to solve research problems.
