However, the widespread adoption of hydrogen energy is challenged by transportation and storage issues, as it requires compressed and liquefied gas storage tanks. Solid hydrogen storage offers a promising solution, providing an effective and low-cost method for storing and releasing hydrogen.
While there are multiple methods available, compressed gas hydrogen is the most common storage method, where hydrogen is stored in high-pressure tanks at 350-700 bar and transported via specialized tube trailers or pipelines. This approach requires robust infrastructure and is necessary due to the low energy density of hydrogen gas.
