Press Release OTS "Underground Sun Storage 2030" 08.06.2021 | Report In the worldwide unique project "Underground Sun Storage 2030" (USS 2030), the safe, seasonal and large-volume storage of renewable energy in the form of hydrogen in underground, former natural gas reservoirs, is being developed.
Mit „Underground Sun Storage", dem weltweit ersten reinen Wasserstoffspeicher in einer unterirdischen Porenlagerstätte, setzt die RAG gemeinsam mit ihren renommierten Projektpartner*innen der österreichischen Energielandschaft international neue Maßstäbe. Dieses Projekt baut auf Erkenntnissen aus den Vorprojekten auf, in denen bewiesen
Looking to offer Laos a true alternative to hydroelectric power, I have put forward the idea of a 11,400 MW floating solar-with-storage system (FSS) on the 370 km2 Nam Ngum reservoir – the biggest open and flat surface in Laos. The FSS
Flexible Storage: Eine nachhaltige Speicherlösung für ein erneuerbares Energiesystem der Zukunft. Das Forschungsprojekt „Underground Sun Conversion – Flexible Storage" zielt darauf ab, eine saisonale und großvolumige Transformations- und Speicherlösung für erneuerbare Energien bereitzustellen.
Two years after the start of the project, the underground sun storage facility was opened on April 27, 2023. In this unique cross-sector demonstration facility, solar energy is converted into green hydrogen by water electrolysis and stored in pure form in an underground natural gas reservoir in Gampern, Upper Austria. The scale of the storage
In simple terms, Underground Sun Storage 2030 is about using electrolysis to convert solar energy into pure hydrogen in a climate-neutral way during the summer months and then storing it in depleted natural gas reservoirs during
Building on its forerunner, the Underground Sun Storage programme, the Underground Sun Storage 2030 (USS 2030) research project, spearheaded by RAG, is converting solar energy into pure hydrogen by means of water
Unique research project to investigate underground storage of wind and solar energy 05.10.2015 | Press release Federal Minister of Transport, Innovation and Technology Alois Stöger, Managing Director of the Austrian Climate and Energy Fund Theresia Vogel and RAG Chief Executive Officer Markus Mitteregger open the Underground Sun Storage test facility in
Zwei Jahre nach dem Start des von RAG Austria geleiteten Projekts „Underground Sun Storage 2030" (vgl. eia 5/2021) und nach der Inbetriebnahme im April 2023 wird nun im Projekt erstmals die saisonale Speicherung des grünen Energieträgers Wasserstoff in einer ausgeförderten Erdgaslagerstätte in die Praxis umgesetzt.
Die Wasserstoffverträglichkeit der unterirdischen Porenspeicher wurde bereits in den Vorgängerprojekten „Underground SUN.STORAGE" sowie „Underground N nversion" untersucht. Es konnte der Nachweis erbracht
Looking to offer Laos a true alternative to hydroelectric power, I have put forward the idea of a 11,400 MW floating solar-with-storage system (FSS) on the 370 km2 Nam Ngum reservoir – the biggest open and flat surface in Laos. The FSS could generate 15,000 GWh/year of energy, which is about equal to that of the above three hydroelectric
„Underground Sun Storage 2030" Launched in March 2021, this unique research project – the only one of its kind in the world – is aimed at finding ways to convert renewable solar energy into pure hydrogen using climate-neutral electrolysis
With ''Underground Sun Storage'', the world''s first pure hydrogen storage facility in an underground porous reservoir, RAG Austria AG and its project partners of the Austrian energy community are setting new international standards.
Im Leitprojekt „Underground Sun Storage 2030" (USS 2030) wird die sichere, saisonale und großvolumige Speicherung von erneuerbarer Energie in Form von Wasserstoff in unterirdischen Gaslagerstätten entwickelt. Darüber hinaus werden alle am Projekt beteiligten Partner gemeinsam wertvolle technische und ökonomische Erkenntnisse für den Aufbau einer gesicherten

storage capacity (more than 8 billion cu m in Austria, equivalent to 92,000 GWh) in the energy system of the future will change significantly, since they can be used to store and balance out supplies of renewable energy. Within this lead project, we are attempting to demon-strate the ability of underground storage facilities to
Initial laboratory tests conducted as part of the forerunner project Underground Sun Storage – which is also supported by the Austrian Climate a nd Energy Fund – show that hydrogen injected into the reservoir with carbon dioxide is converted into methane by microbiological
„Underground Sun Storage 2030" Launched in March 2021, this unique research project – the only one of its kind in the world – is aimed at finding ways to convert renewable solar energy into pure hydrogen using climate-neutral electrolysis and storing it in depleted gas reservoirs.
To find a storage system that can make renewable energy baseload capable and provide seasonable large scale storage RAG Austria AG initiated the Underground Sun Storage project. The research done in this project should prove the feasibility of storing hydrogen in depleted natural gas reservoirs just like commercial natural gas storages.
Verbund''s role in the Underground Sun Storage project: The energy sector is currently in the throes of a massive transition. Long established structures, based on central generators and decentralised consumers, are disintegrating. Decentralised power generation is gaining ground, at the expense of the traditional business model whereby energy
The successful Underground Sun Storage project, which focused on the storage of wind and solar energy in naturally formed gas reservoirs, is to be taken to the next stage. Building on the research conducted so far, for the first time the Underground Sun Conversion project will enable production of natural gas directly within a gas reservoir
The hydrogen compatibility of underground pore storage systems had already been investigated in the previous projects "Underground SUN.STORAGE" and "Underground N nversion". It was possible to prove that a hydrogen content of up to 20% can be stored in natural-gas storage facilities with good levels of compatibility.
Building on its forerunner, the Underground Sun Storage programme, the Underground Sun Storage 2030 (USS 2030) research project, spearheaded by RAG, is converting solar energy into pure hydrogen by means of water electrolysis in a climate-neutral process.
In the lead project "Underground Sun Storage 2030" (USS 2030), the safe, seasonal and large-scale storage of renewable energy in the form of hydrogen in underground gas reservoirs is being developed. In addition, all partners involved in the project will jointly gain valuable technical and economic knowledge for the development of a secure
