How Startups Work to Store and Deliver Hydrogen at Room Temperature

Hydrogen offers a carbon-free approach to energy production since its reaction with water can generate electricity and heat, but only water is produced as a byproduct. Abundantly available, the fuel also has a higher energy density than gasoline, making it a good energy carrier.

Hydrogen can also substitute fossil fuels in energy-intensive industrial processes like metal processing. With industrial activity demanding over 40 percent of the world’s energy usage switching to hydrogen as fuel, we can make giant strides in reducing carbon emissions.

Challenges with using hydrogen

As a gas, hydrogen has a lower volumetric energy density than fossil fuels. This means that to be stored and transported, it needs to be compressed or liquified first.  (…)
