Vallourec and Geostock have signed a memorandum of understanding to expand cooperation on infrastructure supporting the energy transition with emphasis on hydrogen storage and carbon capture utilization and storage. The agreement brings together Vallourec’s expertise in steel solutions and turnkey hydrogen storage systems with Geostock’s experience designing and operating underground storage facilities. The partners aim to address technical and safety requirements associated with developing scalable storage assets needed for emerging low carbon energy value chains across industrial and utility applications.
Under the collaboration hydrogen storage is a central focus reflecting growing demand for flexible energy storage. Vallourec’s Delphy system is designed for high safety on site hydrogen storage of up to one hundred metric tons while Geostock provides mined lined rock cavern solutions suitable for capacities exceeding five hundred metric tons. The partnership also covers carbon capture utilization and storage infrastructure leveraging Geostock’s work across salt caverns hard rock formations and porous reservoirs. Vallourec stated the agreement supports its strategy of working with specialized partners to scale low carbon technologies. Geostock noted Vallourec’s materials research capabilities strengthen development of diverse underground storage options aligned with industrial decarbonization objectives and long term energy system resilience planning across global transition markets worldwide.
