About the project
In the Hystorm project, we study whether energy, in the form of hydrogen (H2), can be stored safely underground in depleted oil and gas reservoirs offshore Norway. This opens for a clean energy supply platform and a renewable offshore future for the country.
Objectives
The multi-disciplinary research team will perform fundamental studies to assess the feasibility of using depleted hydrocarbon reservoirs on the Norwegian Continental Shelf as storage sites for high-purity hydrogen.
