128341 - Hydrogen Storage and Delivery: Recent Developments and Industrial Perspectives 

As hydrogen can be generated without using fossil fuels, a transition toward such an economy holds promise for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and enhancing energy security. ^1-2 For using hydrogen as a greener alternative, the development of safe and affordable methods for hydrogen storage and transportation is highly required.³ The key components of the hydrogen economy (HE) are hydrogen production, storage, delivery, and utilization. Hydrogen can be stored through various methods, including compression, liquefaction at low temperatures, or by employing hydrides.⁴

This report will give an overview of hydrogen storage technologies and go into specifics regarding the challenges and limitations associated with material performance in hydrogen-rich environments, and conditions representative of hydrogen energy uses. Furthermore, safety and reliability analysis for hydrogen storage and delivery technologies will also be discussed. Since the safety and reliability of hydrogen infrastructure is a vital prerequisite for gaining public acceptance of these technologies. Finally, in order to support safe, reliable operation, suggestions are made to help provide a foundation for future risk and reliability analysis.
