Conventional and nonconventional hydrogen storages.
Storage in high-pressure tanks – up to
700 atmospheres.
Disadvantages – spontaneous leak of hydrogen and high risk of depressurization.
Storage in liquid state– (-252°С).
Disadvantages – thigh cost of equipment for hydrogen storage and cooling, evaporation and high risk of depressurization.
Hydrogen storage in solid state.
Requirements.
