HYDROGEN STORAGE

Hydrogen can be stored in many ways. In its pure form it can be stored in tanks and balloons. Hydrogen gas is more difficult to compress than other gases for complicated reasons so alternative storage methods are being researched.

Hydrogen bonds easily with many other elements and can often be 'unbonded' just as easily. Many storage research projects are exploring this avenue. The most well-known compound containing hydrogen is, of course, water.

One liter of water contains about fifteen cubic feet of hydrogen but a secondary energy source (e.g. electrolysis) is required to release it. Until a method is found to release hydrogen from water some other way, water cannot be a practical mobile storage medium for hydrogen. This is unfortunate given the virtually unlimited supply.

One promising new technology is called metal hydride storage. Basically, a metal hydride (crystal lattice) is installed in containers (tanks). The material absorbs hydrogen allowing a greater volume of hydrogen to be stored in a smaller area without compression. The hydrogen released by such tanks is very (99.99%) pure.

There are still many technological hurdles to be cleared before hydrogen can become a truly practical world energy solution. Hydrogen research is an exciting field still in its infancy. Hydrogen production and storage techniques are being researched in new and exciting ways all over the world. Many are still waiting to be discovered, no doubt. Imagine buying a small jar of algae, dumping it into your fuel tank along with a couple of gallons of water and running your car for a week. It isn't very far-fetched.


Our mission at HydrogenTwo.com is to educate the planet's children about hydrogen.
It is the only logical technology for our planet's rapidly growing power needs.
The supply is virtually inexhaustable and it is 100% clean when used as fuel.
Our planet will eventually run out of fossil fuels whether it be sooner or later.
We can debate when it will happen but nobody can deny that the time will come.
Let us be ready before that time comes.
Petroleum products can then be used as lubricants and other applications for which they are best suited instead of being criminally burned and wasted causing toxic effects to our planet in the process.
