HyStock TSO2020, Power to Gas

Client: Gasunie/EnergyStock
Features: At the natural gas storage location Zuidwending near Veendam, a hydrogen generating installation and trailer filling setup has been realized within the framework of a European project (HyStock). The generation plant is a 1 MW PEM Electrolysis from ITM. There are two trailer parking slots. Hydrogen is generated locally from electricity and demineralized water, and then compressed and supplied into tubetrailers. Within the project, hydrogen storage in salt caverns is investigated and functionally tested. In time, many larger hydrogen generating plants will be realized, with which the storage of energy in salt caverns can be applied on a full scale. Ekinetix provided safety and technical expertise, was part of HAZOP sessions and trained the technical staff at Gasunie / EnergyStock.
