On 20 March 2024, the European consortium met for the official launch of the FrHyGe* project, supported and funded by the European Union through the Clean Hydrogen Partnership. This 43 M€ project aims to validate the underground storage of hydrogen in salt caverns on an industrial scale. The project will allow the deployment of an underground storage site in Manosque, France as well as the replication study on the Harsefeld site in Germany and more widely at a European scale. Together with 16 other European partners, ESK GmbH is responsible for the interpretation and standardisation of tightness tests and the planning of completion elements at the Harsefeld storage site.
