)
voestalpine Tubulars transferred its know-how from decades of product development and experience within the oil & gas segment to develop VAhyper – the hydrogen-tight Premium Connection, increasing safety for hydrogen applications.
The pipe connection had been tested successfully at a pressure of up to 10,150 psi (700bar) under 100% hydrogen in the load frame.
Efficient hydrogen storage in salt caverns with VAhyper®
Hydrogen storage in salt caverns provides a secure and efficient method for long-term hydrogen storage. Using our VAhyper®, the gas is compressed into underground cavities formed through the process of solution mining. These salt caverns are ideal for storing the smallest gas molecules (H2), due to their gas-tight properties.
The surrounding salt formation is almost impermeable, preventing any hydrogen from escaping. Before storage begins, the salt caverns are carefully prepared and tested for leak-tightness. When needed, the stored hydrogen can be withdrawn and, for example, fed into the distribution network.
Advantages of hydrogen storage in salt caverns:
- High safety due to gas-tight structures
- Efficient use of underground cavities
- Flexible access to stored hydrogen
- Integration into the existing distribution network
