Lhyfe, a leading company in the production of renewable hydrogen, made the delivery last Thursday of 350 kg of green hydrogen to Géométhane, a natural gas specialist. This hydrogen was delivered for a crucial experiment consisting of injecting hydrogen into salt caves located at the Géométhane facility in Manosque, southern France.

This experiment is an essential part of an ambitious project led by the urban community DLVAgglo and Géométhane, which aims to accelerate the decarbonization of the Marseille-Fos-Sur-Mer industrial park through the use of renewable hydrogen.

Géométhane tests green hydrogen in subway storage

In this phase of the experiment, Géométhane, which currently uses salt caves to store natural gas, is evaluating the feasibility of injecting hydrogen into these cavities, is evaluating the feasibility of injecting hydrogen into these cavities. During the experiment, hydrogen was injected into the natural gas system until it reached a storage well, where it will remain under observation for several weeks before being extracted and analyzed.

This process will make it possible to study the behavior of hydrogen under these conditions.

The hydrogen storage in these caves has the potential to improve local energy independence by balancing the production and consumption of various energy sources. This stored hydrogen can be withdrawn on demand to cover consumption peaks or reinjected to store excess energy generated by nuclear and renewable plants during off-peak periods.

Hydrogen as a key energy source

Matthieu Guesné, founder and CEO of the company, expressed his pride in participating in this project that highlights the multiple applications of hydrogen, not only in the decarbonization of mobility and industry, but also in energy storage, crucial for energy independence.

As renewable hydrogen production increases, storage will become a key issue. The use of caves for this purpose is a promising option being explored throughout Europe. This project will provide fundamental data on this technology.
