Effective, cheap and safe hydrogen storage technologies are critical to underpinning the success of the energy carrier. Typically, hydrogen is stored in its gaseous form, in high-pressure cylinders, supercooled into its liquid form or stored...
“When it comes to centralised, large-scale crackers, the high cost of platinum group metals quickly makes them a prohibitive option.”
“If you want to store really large volumes of energy from one season or another, or for large industrial use cases, then hydrogen storage is considered the way to go,” Uniper tells H2 View.
“Some of our cylinders were made in the 1930s…It really just supports how important it is to keep our maintenance and inspection regime relevant.”
Claudio Lanzarini, Vice-President of Engineering at Massachusetts-based FIBA Technologies, looks at decades’ worth of research, design and rigorous testing that has produced the safe methods of hydrogen transportation and storage we rely on today.
“We are creating security for everyone involved – from hydrogen producers at home and abroad to the operators of power plants and storage facilities and future industrial users.”
H2 View speaks with Dr. Stefan Dwenger, Chief Commercial Officer at EKPO Fuel Cell Technologies.
The hydrogen leak and subsequent fire at Leuna serve as a reminder of the vulnerabilities in the hydrogen supply chain and the critical importance of safety and transparency in the industry…
China, Japan, Australia, South Korea and India have further advanced their support mechanisms and frameworks, each with a unique strategy to support decarbonisation and economic growth.
With only 330MW of capacity installed today and an ambitious goal of 7.1GW by decade’s end, the industry faces a significant deployment gap…
