Researchers Propose Coal as a New Medium for Hydrogen Storage – EQ Mag
In a groundbreaking development, researchers at Penn State University have proposed a novel model of hydrogen storage: coal. The unexpected suggestion comes as scientists have long identified coal as a contributor to climate change, not a clean fuel source. Hydrogen, an extremely light and easily dispersed gas, is touted as a fuel of the future […]
The Race To Develop Hydrogen Storage – EQ Mag
Energy companies around the world are racing to develop hydrogen storage, believing that it will help to reduce dependence on natural gas and boost energy security. The Department of Energy has identified some regions in the U.S. that it believes will be most suitable for cavern storage development. There are also hydrogen storage projects underway […]
A New Design For Faster Hydrogen Storage – EQ Mag Pro
Australian researchers have announced a new design for solid-state hydrogen storage. Compressed gas is the most common form of hydrogen storage, however it can also be stored in a liquid or solid state. “Metal hydride hydrogen storage technology is ideal for onsite hydrogen production from renewable electrolysis” Hydrogen is gaining significant attention as an efficient […]
Underground rock cavern hydrogen storage facility inaugurated in Luleå – EQ Mag Pro
SSAB, LKAB and Vattenfall are inaugurating HYBRIT’s pilot facility for fossil-free hydrogen storage at Svartöberget in Luleå, Sweden. The rock cavern storage facility is reportedly the first of its kind in the world. The inauguration ceremony marks the start of the two-year test period, which will run until 2024. The facility comes as part of […]
Bacteria-Based Biobattery Developed for Hydrogen Storage – EQ Mag Pro
A team of microbiologists from Goethe University Frankfurt has succeeded in using bacteria for the controlled storage and release of hydrogen. This is an important step in the search for carbon-neutral energy sources in the interest of climate protection. The corresponding paper has now been published in the renowned scientific journal “Joule”. The fight against […]
