Hydrogen storage breakthrough could power pollution-free future for all.
Hydrogen is a clean energy source with challenges in storage due to its low density and high explosive risk. This overview examines different hydrogen storage methods, focusing on metal hydrides, which show promise in making storage more efficient and safe. The future of hydrogen power may involve using combined systems that utilize multiple storage and processing techniques, such as metal hydride units and thermal sorption compressors for gas-cylinder and cryogenic storage. Buffer units for storage, purification, and controlled supply could also play a role. The goal is to improve hydrogen storage systems to support the development of hydrogen technology.
