The test project for storing fossil-free hydrogen in large rock caverns has been technically proven to work.
The pilot project is now completed and reported to the Energy Agency, according to Vattenfall, which together with SSAB and LKAB is driving the so-called Hybrit project, which aims to produce fossil-free steel.
"Hydrogen storage is an important piece of the puzzle for electrifying industrial processes while increasing the amount of weather-dependent power. With the results and experiences from the pilot project, the technology is now ready for scaling up", says Mikael Nordlander, development manager for Vattenfall's Industrial Collaborations, in a press release.
