Hydrogen is attracting global attention as a key future low-carbon energy carrier which could replace hydrocarbon usage in transport and fuel-intensive industry. However, to supply energy in the TWh-range necessary for Net Zero it requires storage at much larger volumes than the currently deployed surface tanks or cavern storage. The next solution for large-scale hydrogen storage are porous saline aquifers and depleted hydrocarbon fields. This perspective is scientifically attractive but remains technically challenging given the lack of active hydrogen storage knowledge and experience. The main target of the SHINE consortium is to explore the feasibility and address technical, geological, and hydrogeological challenges related to hydrogen storage across subsurface porous reservoirs. SHINE will bring together 5 leading universities and research groups, from five European countries, and 5 industrial partners to deliver new training and research skills to 10 young scientists. SHINE aims at providing this next generation of scientists with technical and transferable skills to integrate geosciences, engineering, and microbiology techniques to find solutions to existing open questions in hydrogen storage technologies. Our novel approach is to integrate analytical, monitoring, and computing techniques to explore how hydrogen may react with the subsurface minerals, fluids, and microbial community potentially affecting the storage operations; model the stress field changes across hydrogen reservoir/caprocks, and monitor its geomechanical response during repeated injection/production cycles. The expertly trained cohort of young research scientists resulting from the SHINE consortium will therefore radically improve our understanding of this technology, implement and de-risk its application to potential projects providing the necessary insights into underground hydrogen storage for decision-makers in government and industry and contribute actively to the EU transition energy

氢作为未来重要的低碳能源载体而吸引了全球的关注，它可以取代交通和燃料密集型行业中碳氢化合物的使用。然而，为了提供净零所需的太瓦时范围内的能源，需要比目前部署的地面储罐或洞穴存储容量大得多的存储容量。大规模储氢的下一个解决方案是多孔盐水层和枯竭的碳氢化合物田。这种观点在科学上很有吸引力，但由于缺乏活性氢存储知识和经验，在技术上仍然具有挑战性。 SHINE 联盟的主要目标是探索可行性并解决与地下多孔储层储氢相关的技术、地质和水文地质挑战。 SHINE 将汇集来自五个欧洲国家的 5 所领先大学和研究小组以及 5 个工业合作伙伴，为 10 名年轻科学家提供新的培训和研究技能。 SHINE 旨在为下一代科学家提供技术和可转移技能，以整合地球科学、工程和微生物学技术，为储氢技术中现有的开放性问题找到解决方案。我们的新颖方法是整合分析、监测和计算技术，探索氢如何与地下矿物、流体和微生物群落发生反应，从而可能影响储存操作；对氢储层/盖层的应力场变化进行建模，并在重复注入/生产循环期间监测其地质力学响应。因此，由 SHINE 联盟组成的经过专业培训的年轻研究科学家群体将从根本上提高我们对这项技术的理解，实施和降低其在潜在项目中的应用风险，为政府和行业决策者提供有关地下储氢的必要见解，并为欧盟能源转型做出积极贡献
