Full qualification in France of large scale Hydrogen underground storage and replication from Germany to all European countries
17 Partners
Funded by the European Union’s Clean Hydrogen Partnership
FrHyGe will be present at EU Hydrogen Week in Brussels from November 18 to 22. Booth K20 – EU Project Pavilion
FrHyGe is dedicated to validating large-scale underground hydrogen storage in salt caverns. Launched on March 20, 2024, this innovative project is led by a European consortium of 17 partners and coordinated by Storengy.
With a total budget of 43 million euros—20 million of which is funded by the Clean Hydrogen Partnership—FrHyGe aims to advance the future of renewable hydrogen storage in Europe, opening new opportunities for sustainable energy development.
"The project is supported by the Clean Hydrogen Partnership and its members."
Origins : Merger of the initiatives GeoH2, in Manosque, France, and SaltHy, in Harsefeld, Germany.
Objective : Validate industrial-scale underground hydrogen storage in salt caverns.
Strategy : Convert salt cavities in Manosque for hydrogen storage and replicate technology at Harsefeld.
Vision : Deploy technology across Europe.
Timeline : Five-year collaboration focusing on various studies.
Conducting analyses for the Manosque demonstrator and SaltHy site replicability
Construction phase
Implementing 100 injections and withdrawals at Géométhane.
Studying hydrogen reactions under various pressures.
Comparing results with theoretical predictions.
