Members of the H2CoopStorage project meet in Iceland in mid-October. Since the start of the project a year ago, members have done all meetings online. The drop in strict rules due to the health context makes it possible to travel again and to organize face-to-face meetings.
This will be an opportunity to present the results achieved so far and to discuss collaborations to move the project forward. But it is also the opportunity to visit the pilot site of the Hellisheidi geothermal power plant. Finally, the project will also be presented during the Arctic Conference which will take place from October 14 to 16.
