The EAGE Hydrogen and Energy Storage community (HESTC) is a network of members interested in sharing knowledge and developing skills among geoscientists and engineers working in Hydrogen and Energy Storage analysis, strategies, and technologies. This group is open to members in all stages of their career and counts on links with the student community.
The rapidly evolving Hydrogen and Energy Storage sector plays a vital role in addressing the challenges of rising energy demand, intermittent renewable power generation and the requirement to reduce global GHG emissions. The full range of energy storage technologies will be included within the remit of the community: Electrochemical, Chemical, Thermal and Mechanical.
We are also interested in discussions and contributions covering the broader elements of natural hydrogen systems, stimulated geological hydrogen production, policy, and emerging energy value chains.
The HESTC’s activities will be instrumental in providing EAGE members with current insights, perspectives and the latest technical developments within the Hydrogen and Energy Storage discipline.

Skills for the Energy Transition
Willing to pursue a career in energy transition-related fields? Representatives from the EAGE Decarbonization and Energy Transition Communities, in collaboration with the Education Committee, have undertaken the development of a tool aimed at delineating the requisite skills for successfully navigating a career in the evolving energy landscape.
The overarching objective of the initiative is to offer a comprehensive learning path, encompassing both technical and non-technical proficiencies, thereby aiding our members in navigating their personal energy transition journeys.
In order to ensure that the insights provided by this tool align closely with the needs of our members, we would like to invite you to participate in a short survey: replies are anonymous and will help us improve the skills mapping as well as identify additional areas where geoscientists and engineers can play a role for the energy transition.
Hydrogen and Energy Storage Committee
The Hydrogen and Energy Storage community is coordinated by a Committee that serves for a period of two years. The current Committee is serving the 2024 – 2026 term.
