New hydrogen storage methods that are reliable and secure -Part 2-
The mass energy density of hydrogen is 33 KWh/Kg, which is far higher than that of gasoline or diesel 12 KWh/Kg. Moreover, under typical temperature and pressure circumstances, it has a very low energy volume density of 3 KWh/Nm3. On the contrary side, due to its extremely low molar mass and very low liquefaction temperature, storing hydrogen to make it accessible anywhere in the world is difficult and expensive. where, by lowering its temperature to -253 °C, hydrogen becomes liquefiable.
Mobile hydrogen storage in hydrogen vehicles uses hydrogen tanks compressed to between 350 bar and 700 bar. For instance, the technical goals are to create a 5 kilogram hydrogen tank, which equates to storage of around 90 kg and 125 L, for a car with a range of about 500 km.

Based on type IV carbon-composite technology, compressed hydrogen in hydrogen tanks is utilized in cars for hydrogen tank systems at 350 bar and 700 bar.
It is critical that hydrogen storage devices be of strong and safe construction, due to the purposes that hydrogen is designed for as well as its intrinsic qualities, particularly its flammability and explosiveness. Three different states in which hydrogen can be kept in storage are solid, gaseous under pressure, or liquid at -253 degrees Celsius in enclosed tanks with improved thermal insulation. This storage solutions loses technological and financial competitiveness with more volumes or quantities.
Available storage technologies, their capacity and discharge time
Regarding the outcomes, demands, and markets in the short- and medium-term, compressed hydrogen storage is the most promising, but for the moment, from a scientific and industrial perspective, gas storage is the most developed method; experience has proven that compressed gas cylinders are reliable and secure.
Hola @benainouna
Cuando terminas diciendo que esos gases de bombona comprimidos son seguros, no me puedo imaginar cuando una bombona de esas explote cerca de mí... Estuve hace años en un apartamento de visita, hubo un gran estrépito como una bomba atómica, quedamos sordos. Salió mucha gente a ver lo que ocurría, fue una bombona que explotó en el edificio de al lado, rompiendo muchísimas ventanas y dañando los iodos de algunas personas... En cuanto al hidrógeno comprimido ¿Es tan peligroso?
Hi @benainouna
When you end up saying that those compressed canister gases are safe, I can't imagine when one of those canisters explode near me.... I was years ago in an apartment visiting, there was a big bang like an atomic bomb, we were deafened. Many people came out to see what was happening, it was a cylinder that exploded in the building next door, breaking many windows and damaging the iodine of some people ... As for compressed hydrogen, is it that dangerous?
