More Information

The summer school is developed for a broad audience who would like to learn more about the various aspects of UHS. It unities experienced scientists, young researchers, industry leaders and governmental institutions engaged and managing aspects related to underground hydrogen storage (UHS).  

During the course, the attendees should expect lectures from international experts and engaging discussions, as well as site visits and cultural and social activities and cultural events presenting opportunities for informal networking. In addition, each attendee is given the opportunity to present their research during a dedicated poster session.

The summer school stands out as the only one of its kind, featuring a unique format without simultaneously run sessions allowing for meaningful interactions (discussions) throughout the event.

On the day preceding the conference, a set of Masterclasses will be offered to provide an introduction to the subject matter for individuals new to the field.

The summer school will be hybrid and will cover many aspects of UHS including:

• Successful experiences and under-development sites (commercial and pilot) for UHS
• Policy, Regulating & Licensing of UHS
• Techno-economics of UHS
• Geo-Technical-Feasibility of UHS:
• Thermo-Hydrodynamics
• Microbiology & Geo-chemistry
• Geomechanics & Geology
• Characterization, Modeling, Imaging & Monitoring
• Presentations by poster attendees (Poster + 2min Pitch)

Lectures will be given by a broad range of speakers including scientists, industrial experts, policymakers, regulators, and EU funding agencies.

The outline schedule for the summer school is as follows:

• Monday 8th July– Introductory classes on UHS for those new to hydrogen storage.
• Tuesday 9th July– All day meeting (schedule TBC) followed by evening dinner and Ceilidh.
• Wednesday 10th July – All day meeting (schedule TBC) followed by a poster and beer session at the end of the day, with a free evening.
• Thursday 11th July – All day meeting (schedule TBC) followed by a whisky experience and dinner.
• Friday 12th July – optional trips – Still to be confirmed but likely to include a visit to the H100 hydrogen for heat project, geology field trip to Siccar point, another hydrogen-related project visit (TBC), and lab tours on campus.

All food and drinks, plus two eventing meals and the field trips are included in the price of the conference.
