- [nanoPost] Nanomaterials for hydrogen storage technology
Hydrogen is used in many industrial processes, and increasingly in fuel cells for clean power generation. However, storage of hydrogen is a significant problem.
Currently most hydrogen is stored in compressed gas cylinders, which occupy a large volume and present safety risks in the event that the tank is ruptured. The company is commercialising hydrogen storage technology which stores hydrogen as a solid within a magnesium alloy matrix.
Using magnesium alloys, sufficient hydrogen can be stored to move a vehicle 500 km using 100 kg of fuel, meeting a US Department of Energy hydrogen storage system target. Hydrexia’s technology could potentially deliver substantial savings in fuel cost and weight in comparison with existing systems.
