2nd International Seminar “Living on Hydrogen” - II Microbial Influence on Hydrogen Underground Storage, 4th of May 2022
4th of May 2022; 13:00 – 16:00 CET With over 280 registered persons from academia, industry and governmental institutes, we had a great success last year with our “Living on Hydrogen” webinar in 2021. The research on hydrogen underground storage in general and specifically the role of microbes is still ongoing with many new projects coming up all over Europe and the World. |

Background: “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 remain 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. Which raises the main question of our webinar: What role will they play?
In this seminar/conference we want 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!
