The objective is an essential contribution for a sustainable energy transition by long-term, efficient and safe utilization of subsurface gas storage sites. This considers the increased usage of hydrogen in the energy system, focuses on safe and innovative concepts to increase, reutilize and monitor subsurface storage (UGS): This includes new concepts of horizontal drilling into porous- and cavern storages und reutliziation of caverns and methanogenesis autoclaves. Experiments and models for material- and storage propeties, microbiology and UGS monitoring contribute to a safe and sustainable energy supply.
