WHEN CHEMISTRY MEETS ECONOMICS

The economics of hydrogen storage

• Hydrogen is a hopeful, ideal cost-efficient, clean and sustainable energy carrier. • Persistent obstacle to integration of hydrogen into the world economy is its storage. • Metal hydrides can potentially link hydrogen storage with a future hydrogen economy. •. • Hydrogen is a hopeful, ideal cost-efficient, clean and sustainable energy carrier. • Persistent obstacle to integration of hydrogen into the world economy is its storage. • Metal hydrides can potentially link hydrogen storage with a future hydrogen economy. •. ations are discussed. Then, we describe the most important facets of hydrogen supply, including its pro-duction, storage, processing and conditioning, de ivery, and refueling. Then, the public acceptance and security aspects of hydrogen fuel supply chains nd use are addressed. Finally, we analyze. . The demand for hydrogen is increasing every year and is expected to increase in the future which necessitates the establishment of safe storage of hydrogen for the end user. Hydrogen needs to overcome many challenges and the critical challenge is to achieve convenient, safe, and economical storage. [pdf]
