A hydrogen storage test in a salt cavern

Cavite saline

It is a first in France! On Thursday 13 June, Lhyfe delivered 350 kg of green hydrogen to Géométhane, a natural gas expert. The latter intends to test hydrogen storage in salt caverns at its Manosque site in Southeastern France.

The first injection took place on the same day. This is a very important test for the next stage of the major project supported by the DLVAgglo conurbation authority and Géométhane, which aims to accelerate the decarbonisation of the Marseille-Fos-Sur-Mer industrial site, in particular through the use of green hydrogen.

Until now, Géométhane has only stored natural gas in salt caverns. Through this experiment, the group aims to study the behaviour of hydrogen, which will remain under observation for several weeks before being extracted and analysed.
