STATIONARY HYDROGEN STORAGE

Simplify the stationary long-term storage of hydrogen with H2MOF solid-state storage technology.

Long-Term Hydrogen Storage at Low Pressure and Ambient Temperature

Stationary hydrogen storage is vital for modern energy systems. It enables storing surplus renewable energy, helps balance the grid and ensures a steady hydrogen supply for industry and transport – playing a key role in building a cleaner, more flexible, and resilient energy infrastructure.

Existing methods to store hydrogen long-term such as underground storage, high-pressure storage or cryogenic storage have been used for decades, but face significant challenges in terms of geological limitations, safety, boil-off losses, scalability and costs.

Operating at low pressure and ambient temperature, our solid-state technology is ideal to store hydrogen in a safe, efficient and cost-effective way, supporting the transition to a more sustainable energy future.

Our Technology

A novel approach to stationary hydrogen storage

H2MOF is developing solid-state storage solutions based on reticular materials with exceptional hydrogen adsorption properties. By engineering these nanomaterials with atomic precision, our technology can achieve high storage density at ambient temperatures and at pressures as low as 20 bar.

H2MOF’s storage technology can be potentially scaled to provide high-volume storage in fixed locations at low pressure and ambient temperature, virtually eliminating safety concerns on site and saving the industry the cost of compression or liquefaction.

Key Advantages

Our solid-state technology offers several distinct advantages for stationary hydrogen storage.

Improved Safety of Storage Sites

Our technology stores hydrogen within a solid material at low pressure, virtually eliminating the risk of leakage, fire or explosion – resulting in safer storage sites and higher public acceptance.

Minimal Boil-Off Losses

Unlike cryogenic tanks, our solid-state storage technology does not suffer from significant boil-off losses. This makes it especially suitable for long-term or seasonal storage, as hydrogen can be kept for extended periods with minimal loss.

Efficient Storage with Reduced Footprint

Our lightweight storage technology offers volumetric and gravimetric efficiencies on par with standard high-pressure tanks, allowing hydrogen to be stored safely and efficiently in fixed locations. As it operates at low pressure, large storage tanks can be designed at lower cost than equivalent high-pressure tanks.

Energy- and Cost-Efficient

Our storage technology eliminates the need for energy-intensive compression/liquefaction processes, and related equipment and operational costs – thus driving down the total cost of storage.

Reduced Infrastructure Complexity

Our solid-state storage operates at low pressure and ambient temperature, removing the need for multi-stage compressors, cryogenic equipment and other complex infrastructure. Low pressure operations also allow for an easier integration with electrolyzers or fuel cells.

Modular and Scalable Storage Options

With modular design options, our storage systems can be scaled up and down depending on the application – from smaller backup power systems to grid-scale storage solutions.

Application Areas

From back-up power systems to refueling stations and industrial sites, our technology enables the safe and efficient storage of hydrogen for stationary applications.

Renewable Energy Storage

Large-scale and long-duration storage of surplus renewable energy to balance electricity grids and ensure supply during demand peaks or low renewable generation.

Industrial Feedstock

Hydrogen tanks to store hydrogen as feedstock for chemical processes and manufacturing – for example, ammonia production.

Refueling Stations

Ground storage tanks for hydrogen at refueling stations and transportation hubs, enabling rapid refueling of hydrogen-powered vehicles.

Power Generation

Hydrogen storage solutions to support stationary power applications by supplying hydrogen to fuel cells or turbines for electricity production – for example remote/off grid power plants or backup power for buildings, hospitals, data centers.
