Living on Hydrogen 2025

Block the date for the 5th “Living on Hydrogen” on the 6th of May 2025!

With the successful registration and attendance of several hundred participants from academia, industry, and governmental institutes, we are excited to continue our “Living on Hydrogen” webinar in 2025.

Over the past few years, researchers around the world have gathered more data and knowledge on hydrogen underground storage, particularly focusing on the role of microbes.

Open for abstract submission

We are interested to hear about your projects and work related to hydrogen underground storage! If you want to present your recent findings on the topic, send us a short abstract (max. 200 words). We will consider all scientific fields, but your work should have implications for microbiology.

Abstract submission until 15.03 via e-mail to: livingonh2webinar@gmail.com

Registration is open

Exploring Microbial Risks and Solutions

Everybody is talking about the transformative potential of hydrogen as we gradually transition into a sustainable society. As is the case with all energy resources, finding the best solution to large-scale storage remains an indisputable challenge. Hydrogen underground storage in salt caverns, reservoirs, or aquifers has a big potential to provide long-term storage, but these environments are always exposed to subsurface indigenous microorganisms. This raises the main question of our webinar: What role will they play?

In this webinar, we want to gather interested people on the topic of hydrogen underground storage and the potential impacts triggered by microorganisms.

This free online seminar is aimed towards cross-disciplinary scientists, operators, and industry members interested in understanding microbial risks and working on this fascinating topic!

The event is organized by Nicole Dopffel (NORCE, Norway), Annie Biwen An-Stepec (NORCE, Norway), and Andrea Koerdt (BAM, Germany)
