As global clean hydrogen strategies solidify with production projects and a strong commitment from the gas transmission & distribution networks, what are the options for the critical storage infrastructure?

This one day online event will see expert speakers detail existing projects and how hydrogen can be stored at key points and junctions of the value chain. The agenda will look at large-scale storage facilities from tanks above ground to underground salt caverns as well as other possibilities and technical innovations.
