Hydrogen, which was produced with solar power for example, is a challenge to store over a long period of time. Possibilities for this offer cavities in underground saltstocks – or iron ore. by CHRISTIAN BERNHART (iron storage) and RALF BUTSCHER On 9 May 2025, the valves were opened by technicians on a site near Etzel, a part of the East Frisian community of Friedeburg. Consequently, a total of [...] Der Beitrag Sichere Depots für Hydrogen erschi…

Green hydrogen becomes a fundamental player in global energy metamorphosis, offering a promising way to meet climate challenges. This gas is produced through the electrolysis of water, a process where electricity, exclusively from renewable sources such as solar or wind, is used to dissociate hydrogen from oxygen. Its distinction lies in an essential characteristic: neither its generation nor its subsequent use releases greenhouse gases, consoli…

Green hydrogen, one of the energy elements called to be protagonist in the process of decarbonization of the economy, has found in saline cavities of Cantabria adequate conditions for its storage. At more than 800 meters of depth, those cavities created from the dissolution of layers of salt inside the earth, as the chemical company Solvay in Polanco did years ago, now become a perfect environment to store the hydrogen generated from electrolysi…
