RWE Gas Storage West launches market survey for its hydrogen storage capacities

RWE Gas Storage West GmbH is planning the commercial commissioning of the first German hydrogen storage facility at the Gronau-Epe site for 2027. 

According to the current marketing status, 30% of the planned firm storage capacities are still available as of 1 January 2028. RWE Gas Storage West GmbH plans to market this remaining storage capacity in the first half of 2025. 

In order to best align the marketing process and product design with customers needs, all market participants will have the opportunity from 24 February to specify their storage requirements and willingness to book. The survey will run until 28 March 2025 and can be accessed via the following Link. 

The storage infrastructure will play a key role in the ramp-up of the hydrogen economy. Up to 38 million cubic metres (equivalent to approx. 135 gigawatt hours) of hydrogen can be stored in RWE’s hydrogen cavern storage facility, which will help to buffer the fluctuating hydrogen production from wind and solar power. This will enable the hydrogen produced in the future to be made available to industrial customers aligned with their demand.
