Large Hydrogen Infrastructures
Technical Conference Program
10th November 2021
virtual conference - online only
Moving forward towards a complex infrastructure to store, transmit and distribute very large quantities of clean hydrogen at low cost is a key challenge for the decarbonisation of the world’s energy system. In the year 2021, hydrogen is usually stored and transported either in a liquefied or compressed gaseous form, while the vast majority is produced and consumed on site. Due to its low volumetric energy density in standard conditions, several technical challenges have to be addressed if hydrogen shall be stored and moved in large quantities across the globe. This online technical conference brings together hydrogen storage specialists, gas transmission and transport experts, liquefaction and hydrogen carrier specialists, compression experts, scientific researchers and other stakeholders to discuss some of the latest technical challenges of storage, transmission and distribution for large hydrogen infrastructures.
The key topic areas of this online conference:
Hydrogen in the grid: How to address the challenges of hydrogen injection into the existing gas infrastructure
Hydrogen value chains: How to create the infrastructure for future hydrogen value chains
Hydrogen beneath the surface: How to assess and realize the potentials of large-scale underground storage facilities
Hydrogen storage, transport and distribution: How to make use of with novel compression technologies, hydrogen carrier technologies, liquefaction and liquid storage solutions

Building the hydrogen Infrastructure in Eastern Germany – infrastructure projects and local value chains
-
Eastern Germany faces a structural change due to the coal phase out
-
at the same time, large potentials for renewable energies provide opportunities for producing green hydrogen
-
VNG and its partners just started the project “Reallabor - Energiepark Bad Lauchstädt” that is funded as a regulatory sandboxes by the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy
-
The project covers the entire value chain for the first time in Eastern Germany, including production, storage, transport and application
