Storengy Deutschland receives millions in EU funding for SaltHy hydrogen storage project
The funding will support predefined work packages in engineering (aboveground, underground, and solar plant), permitting, stakeholder management, and risk, HSE, and quality management. The total study budget is estimated at €9 million, with the CEF grant covering about half.
Storengy emphasizes the strategic importance of “SaltHy,” located in a key region for the future German and European hydrogen network. The Stade region is set to become a central hub, with the first sections of the hydrogen core network expected to be operational by 2028. Its proximity to ports and import routes from Denmark and the Netherlands positions “SaltHy” as a cross-border energy infrastructure project. The EU has already recognized “SaltHy” as a Project of Common Interest (PCI).
