Underground gas storage

An essential link for a successful energy transition

Underground Gas Storage: a pillar of supply security

Located close to consumption areas, underground storage ensures that physically available gas is nearby and accessible in the short term. It guarantees supply security and helps avoid load shedding and delays associated with transporting gas via pipelines or LNG carriers.

Gas consumption varies significantly by hour, day, and season. Underground storage enables reliable and continuous delivery throughout the year. It plays a vital role in covering winter demand peaks or key moments during the day.

Storage also provides a buffer against potential natural gas shortages or increased energy needs during extreme weather events or geopolitical crises.

It offers flexibility to clients, including energy suppliers, to manage their gas volumes year-round. It provides responsiveness and arbitrage capacity to all market players.

Distributed across various regions and forming essential links in the gas chain, underground storage facilities optimise gas infrastructure and enable more efficient use of transport networks.

Storing the energy of the future: hydrogen at the heart of the energy transition

Hydrogen is one of the key levers for achieving Net Zero Carbon in Europe by 2050. It contributes to the flexibility of the energy system.

Thanks to its storability, hydrogen improves the integration of renewable energies (especially solar and wind) and helps balance the grid by addressing intermittency.

In the context of the energy transition, hydrogen storage will support the development of a reliable, renewable, and decarbonised hydrogen sector.

Storage is a powerful tool to align hydrogen production with available renewable electricity, allowing for better sizing of the renewable electricity fleet.

Hydrogen storage is a crucial flexibility tool for the power system.

Access to large-scale hydrogen storage will enable producers to supply their customers with renewable, decarbonised hydrogen 24/7.
