6 FAQs about [Sweden s high-tech hydrogen energy storage]
Where will Green Hydrogen be stored in Sweden?
Vattenfall, Sweden-based steel company SSAB, and Swedish state-owned miner LKAB announced they have reached the halfway point in the construction of a rock cavern storage facility for green hydrogen near Luleå, in northern Sweden. “The various parts of the plant are now mostly in place,” the consortium said in a statement.
How is hydrogen stored?
Hydrogen storage will be tested in the storage facility using known technology known as LRC (Lined Rock Cavern). This means the gas is stored underground in a rock cavern whose walls are lined with a selected material as a sealing layer. The fossil-free hydrogen gas is produced by water electrolysis using fossil-free electricity.
Where is hybrit storing fossil-free hydrogen gas?
SSAB, LKAB and Vattenfall are inaugurating HYBRIT’s pilot facility for fossil-free hydrogen gas storage at Svartöberget in Luleå, Sweden. The rock cavern storage facility is the first of its kind in the world. The inauguration ceremony marks the start of the two-year test period, which will run until 2024.
What is hydrogen gas storage?
Construction of the hydrogen gas storage facility began in May 2021. Hydrogen storage will be tested in the storage facility using known technology known as LRC (Lined Rock Cavern). This means the gas is stored underground in a rock cavern whose walls are lined with a selected material as a sealing layer.
Where can we store fossil-free hydrogen gas?
SSAB, LKAB and Vattenfall’s HYBRIT pilot facility for the storage of fossil-free hydrogen gas is now in operation in Luleå. The rock cavern storage facility is the first of its kind in the world for storing fossil-free hydrogen gas.
How safe is a hydrogen storage facility in svartöberget?
The storage facility was then filled with hydrogen gas and even reached the maximum operating pressure of 250 bar. The commissioning of the pilot facility in Svartöberget has shown that the storage facility works according to its design and meets all safety requirements.
