On 6 December, over 120 people attended the 2nd workshop of the HyPSTER (Hydrogen Pilot STorage for large Ecosystem Replication) project, which presented the results of the various research projects carried out since 2021. At the workshop, a number of lessons and results were made public concerning the storage of hydrogen in a salt cavern.
Moreover, perspective was discussed during the workshop through 2 round tables. The first round table highlighted the key elements for bringing producers and consumers together, while addressing the regulatory framework that needs to be established at European and national levels. The second one provided an overview of the various European hydrogen storage projects, highlighting the learnings, the technical challenges, and the benefits for the ecosystems.
