☀️We had fantastic weather for our event in Krummhörn! But what happens when the sun isn’t shining and the wind stops? That’s where green hydrogen storage steps in, and it’s exactly what we’re showcasing at our Krummhörn site in north-western lower Saxony, close to North Sea and the Dutch border. A big thank you to Olaf Lies for taking the time to join Michael Lewis, my colleagues, and me in inaugurating our Hydrogen Pilot Cavern (HPC) Krummhörn. It’s here that Uniper’s "Greener Gases" strategy truly comes to life. I’m excited to see our HPC Krummhörn project laying the foundation for commercial-scale hydrogen storage solutions. To fully unlock the potential of these systems, however, a clear regulatory framework that incentivizes initial investments is essential. By combining market-based storage fees with a cost-regulated equalization mechanism, we can achieve our goals efficiently. Applying the principles of contracts for difference over a sufficiently long initial period in analogy to the development of the hydrogen core network would appear to make sense here. As we work to establish these crucial frameworks, our commitment to partnering with communities, municipal utilities, and industrial enterprises remains stronger than ever. Together, we can plan and implement the innovative, low-carbon solutions needed for a successful energy transition. What are your thoughts on the future of hydrogen storage? What is needed to get it implemented? I’d love to hear your views! #TheBeatingHeartOfEnergy #Hydrogen #EnergyTransition #UniperEnergyStorage #HydrogenStorage Pedro Lopez Estebaranz Doug Waters Frank Holschumacher
