Green hydrogen production for fuel cell applications and consumption in SAIAMC research facility

Philosophiae Doctor - PhDToday fossil fuels such as oil, coal and natural gas are providing for our ever growing energy needs. As the world’s fossil fuel reserves fast become depleted, it is vital that alternative and cleaner fuels are found. Renewable energy sources are the way of the future energy needs. A solution to the looming energy crisis can be found in the energy carrier hydrogen. Hydrogen can be produced by a number of production technologies. One hydrogen production method explored in this study is electrolysis of water

Metal hydride hydrogen storage and compression systems for energy storage technologies

Along with a brief overview of literature data on energy storage technologies utilising hydrogen and metal hydrides, this article presents results of the related R&D activities carried out by the authors. The focus is put on proper selection of metal hydride materials on the basis of AB5- and AB2-type intermetallic compounds for hydrogen storage and compression applications, based on the analysis of PCT properties of the materials in systems with H2 gas. The article also presents features of integrated energy storage systems utilising metal hydride hydrogen storage and compression, as well as their metal hydride based components developed at IPCP and HySA Systems
