Enagás taps Solvay to develop underground hydrogen storage in Spain
Enagás is set to work with chemicals firm Solvay to develop an underground hydrogen storage facility on the north coast of Spain.
The project will convert underground salt caverns at the site in Cantabria for hydrogen storage, potentially connecting to Spain’s future hydrogen pipeline network. Solvay’s experience with salt-based chemical processes will support the technical conversion.
Salt caverns are a preferred large-scale hydrogen storage option due to their cost-effectiveness and natural impermeability, making them ideal for holding hydrogen gas.
