Occupational safety is a top priority for Storengy Deutschland GmbH. With success: The natural gas storage facility in Harsefeld has been running without a reportable accident for over 9,000 days - the equivalent of over 24 years.

Hildegard Stüber, responsible for QHSE at Storengy Deutschland GmbH, is happy about this success and emphasizes: “With all the everyday work processes and the highly complex tasks in a storage facility, the watchful eye on occupational safety must be anchored in the company's DNA. This is the only way we can meet our high standards. The impressive security performance of our facilities shows how successful this concept is.”

The natural gas storage facility located west of Hamburg has a working gas volume of approximately 110 million cubic meters and has two storage caverns, which were created in the depths of approximately 1,100 meters and approximately 1,700 meters in the massive salt of the Harsefeld salt dome.
