For the Hydrogen Economy to come to fruition, efficient and utilitarian means of storing hydrogen need to be developed. Recent advances in physical storage, chemical hydrides, metal hydrides, adsorbent materials and hybridized combinations of these technologies have led to the identification of a number of hydrogen storage system concepts and prototypes. Applications ranging from large stationary systems, to mid-size transportable systems, to small portable systems as well as delivery and dispensing are of interest. These cross disciplinary engineering efforts include system modeling, heat and mass transfer modeling, materials engineering, and cost and risk analyses. Modeling, design, evaluation, and demonstration efforts will be the subject of this poster session to bring together engineers from the chemical, mechanical and materials fields working on the design, optimization, integration and demonstration of hydrogen storage systems.
