12 March 2024Strasbourg Launches Its First Hydrogen Fueling Station in Plaine des Bouchers
13 March 2024British gas supplier and network operator National Gas Transmission has secured funding from the UK’s energy regulator, Ofgem, to explore a new type of underground hydrogen storage as the company looks to shift to hydrogen to meet the country’s net-zero targets.
The funding will come from Ofgem’s £450m SIF, a fund for supporting “ambitious, innovative” energy projects that could speed up the transition to net zero.
The new technology – called H2FlexiStore – has been developed by Edinburgh energy storage company Gravitricity. It uses the Earth’s natural geology to store up to 100 tonnes of pressurised hydrogen in a lined underground rock shaft, the company said in an emailed statement.
