Further projects : the HyPSTER demonstrator
Storengy is involved in several hydrogen storage research projects and will gain its first practical experience of storing hydrogen in underground salt caverns as part of the HyPSTER hydrogen storage project in France .
Rhône-Alpes region in France by ensuring security of supply and providing flexible solutions for manufacturers and hydrogen refuelling station operators . As a commercial pilot project , it will provide initial technical , operational , and commercial feedback that will be useful for the subsequent largescale deployment of hydrogen storage .
HyPSTER is a salt cavern with a potential capacity of 44 tons of hydrogen . This year , we will store around three tons of hydrogen and simulate 100 injection / withdrawal cycles .
Following the HyPSTER demonstrator , a commercial scheme could be developed over the next three years . Surface installations for compressing and , in particular , purifying hydrogen would then allow the cavern to be used to its full storage capacity by 2026 .
HyPSTER ’ s role will be to help develop the use of low-carbon or renewable hydrogen in the Auvergne-

Why vacuum insulated piping ( VIP ) for LNG transfer ?

More than pipes

For a better quality of life
Vacuum insulated piping ( VIP ) will save money and time compared to conventional foam insulation :
• More effective insulation with less boil-off
• Shorter installation time on site
• Longer lifetime of pipe system
• Double containment
• Smaller pipe diameter
