The Pros and Cons of Nine (9) Types of Hydrogen Storage 🟦 1) Liquid hydrogen a) If you require the greatest volumetric density, go for liquid hydrogen, which has a density of 70.8 kg/m3. b) Liquid hydrogen storage challenges include a Liquefaction energy requirement of 10-13 kWh/kgLH₂ and a high boil-off rate. 🟦 2) Compressed gaseous hydrogen: a) You can store hydrogen as a high-pressure gas at 350-700 bar, which is the most established hydrogen storage technology. b) The energy needed to pressurize hydrogen to 700 bar is 6 kWh/kg, and its volumetric density is 42 kg/m3. 🟦 3) Compressed and liquefied synthetic natural gas (SNG) a) Captured CO₂ + 4H₂ [from green hydrogen] → CH4 +2H₂O [Sabatier reaction] b) The infrastructure for transporting compressed and liquefied natural gas is established and the technology is fully developed. 🟦 4) Synthetic fuels a) (2n + 1) H₂ + n CO → CnH(2n+2) + n H₂O [Fischer-Tropsch process] b) If you wish to utilize current storage and transportation methods, synthetic fuels would be the solution. 🟦 5) Ammonia and Methanol a) They feature high volumetric hydrogen density (107.7-120 kg/m3 for liquid ammonia (NH3) and 95.04-99 kg/m3 for methanol (CH3OH)) and high gravimetric hydrogen content (17.65 wt% for liquid ammonia and 12.1 wt% for methanol) for hydrogen storage. CH3OH ⇌ CO + 2H₂ ; CO+ H₂O → CO₂+ H2 CO+ 2H₂ ⇌ CH3OH ; CO₂+ 3H₂ ⇌ CH3OH+ H₂O 🟦 6) Liquid organic hydrogen carriers (LOHCs) a) Currently the most promising LOHCs are: - Toluene/ methylcyclohexane (MCH) (C7H8/ C7H14), - Naphthalene/ decalin (C10H8/ C10H18), - Benzene/ cyclohexane (C6H6/ C6H12), - Dibenzyltoluene (DBT)/ perhydro-dibenzyltoluene (PDBT) (C21H20/ С21H33). 🟦 7) Formic Acid (CH₂O₂) and Isopropanol (C3H8O) a) They have a high volumetric hydrogen density of 53 kg/m3 for formic acid and 25.9 kg/m3 for isopropanol. Additionally, the high gravimetric hydrogen content is 4.3 and 3.3 wt% for formic acid and isopropanol, respectively, for hydrogen storage. 🟦 8) Porous materials  a) Carbon-based porous hydrogen storage many carbon-based materials are described by a low hydrogenation level at ambient states. b) Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) They are Organic-inorganic hybrid materials with adjustable structures and functionality for hydrogen storage. 🟦 9) Metal hydrides a) metal hydrides such as magnesium hydride (MgH2) and aluminum hydride (AlH3) exhibit high hydrogen storage capacity (up to 7.6 wt% for MgH2 and 10.1 wt% for AlH3) at a low cost. b) Intermetallic hydrides, including AB5, AB2, AB types, and LaNi5H6, need fewer temperatures and pressures for hydrogenation/dehydrogenation. c) Complex metal hydrides, including lithium borohydride (LiBH4) and lithium amide (LiNH2), have sluggish de/re-hydrogenation kinetics.

What to expect for green hydrogen in Europe after the elections?   As the Deutscher Wasserstoff-Verband (DWV) e.V./German Hydrogen Association, together with eight other hydrogen associations and clusters in the EU, we have written down and formulated our expectations. This is a great European initiative that will hopefully catch on and show that everyone is united behind the same goals. Because ultimately, the ramp-up of the hydrogen economy in Europe fits in with the challenges of our time: Improving security, resilience and competitiveness as well as ensuring the achievement of our climate targets.   Many thanks to my colleagues in Bulgaria (Bulgarian Hydrogen, Fuel Cell and Energy Storage Association), Estonia (Estonian Association of Hydrogen Technologies), Lithuania (Lithuanian Hydrogen Energy Association), Latvia (Latvian Hydrogen Association), Sweden (Hydrogen Sweden), Ireland (HydrogenIreland), Poland (Cluster of Hydrogen Technologies ) and Finland (Vetyklusteri - H2 Cluster Finland). ___________ Was ist nach der Wahl in Europa für grünen Wasserstoff zu erwarten? Diese Erwartungen haben wir beim Deutscher Wasserstoff-Verband (DWV) e.V. gemeinsam mit acht weiteren Verbänden und Clustern aus der EU zusammengeschrieben und formuliert. Eine tolle europäische Initiative, die hoffentlich verfängt und die zeigt, dass hier an einem Strang gezogen wird. Denn am Ende fügt sich der Hochlauf der Wasserstoffwirtschaft in Europa in die Herausforderungen dieser Zeit ein: Sicherheit, Resilienz, Wettbewerbsfähigkeit, Klimaschutz. Vielen Dank an meine Kolleginnen und Kollegen in Bulgarien, Estland, Litauen, Lettland, Schweden, Irland, Polen und Finnland.
