Four tanks will balance fluctuations in hydrogen production and consumption, while a fifth tank is planned to supply the HY4SMELT demonstration plant from the end of 2027 through an approximately 1-kilometer pipeline. The first functional tests have started, with initial research results expected by the end of 2026. The project is scheduled to run until December 2030, according to the VERBUND release.
