The DESSERT project has received funding from the European Union’s Research Fund for Coal and Steel (RFCS) programme under the GA No. 101157797. DESSERT, which stands for advanced thread connected production string for hydrogen storage in underground formations, held its official Kick-off Meeting in Bilbao.
The primary focus of this 36-month project is the development of a new stainless steel prototype pipe designed for injecting and withdrawing hydrogen from underground reservoirs. This innovative technology aims to establish hydrogen as a readily available and sustainable energy source, positioning it as a crucial component in the global transition to cleaner energy solutions.
The DESSERT project consortium consists of six partners with extensive expertise in the relevant fields, including steel manufacturers, universities and R&D centres, and innovation and research-consulting firm. During the meeting, all project partners presented their specific activities and contributions to the DESSERT initiative. The collaborative atmosphere fostered productive discussions on the technical, operational, and environmental aspects of the project. Each partner showcased their expertise and outlined how their work will support the project’s overarching goals.
