Hydrogen storage technologies

Hydrogen is the single most important and prominent fuel of our times; its combustion produces just energy and water, without contributing to global pollution. Hydrogen has a high gravimetric energetic content and the single obstacle for its use in every on board application is related to its efficient storage.

 

 

 

Hydrogen, in contrast to fossil fuels is abundant. Different methodologies have been investigated in the last two decades for the storage of hydrogen, resulting to great achievements. This seminar is targeted at presenting all technological advances, current status and future prospects in the hydrogen storage field. Engineers, petrochemical companies and potential investors are the target group of this course.
