Hydrogen Storage and Transfer

Abstract

Various modes of hydrogen storage are considered: compressed gas, liquid and solid (Hydride). Preliminary analysis of energy-storage densities and costs dictated more detailed consideration of hydrogen storage as a cryogenic liquid or metal hydride for (1) small-scale mobile storage and (2) large-scale stationary storage. Concentration was on these two modes in gathering and evaluating sufficient quantitative information to allow assessment of engineering problems and overall practicality. Liquid-hydrogen liquefaction, transfer and storage, and safety were explored. Liquid-cryogen pumping technology is reviewed with particular concern for application to airborne pumping of liquid-hydrogen. Pump types and performance are examined and technical problems identified. An examination of the state-of-the-art of metallic-hydride hydrogen storage is examined.
