About the webinar
Large-scale underground storage will be essential for hydrogen to contribute effectively to a future low-carbon energy system. HyDRA is a European research project funded by the European Union’s Horizon Europe programme that aims to support the safe and reliable storage of hydrogen in porous geological formations. Now at its midway point, the project brings together researchers and industry stakeholders from across Europe to improve our understanding of underground hydrogen storage and develop practical approaches for assessing and managing potential risks. This presentation will introduce HyDRA, highlight the progress and key lessons from the first half of the project, and outline how its results will contribute to future site screening, risk assessment and guidance for storage operators.
