Green hydrogen is emerging as the fuel of the future, offering a clean, renewable, and sustainable alternative to fossil fuels. However, one of the biggest challenges in scaling up the hydrogen economy is efficient hydrogen storage. Since hydrogen has a low volumetric energy density, it requires specialized storage technologies to ensure safety, cost-effectiveness, and seamless integration into industrial applications.
As a global leader in Green Hydrogen storage solutions, ORAIPL designs and implements advanced hydrogen storage systems tailored for industries, mobility, and energy applications. Our solutions support India’s National Green Hydrogen Mission and drive industrial decarbonization.
Why is Green Hydrogen Storage Important?
For hydrogen to be a viable clean energy source, it must be produced, stored, and transported safely and efficiently. The ability to store hydrogen enables:
- Energy Security – Ensuring a continuous hydrogen supply for industries and mobility.
- Grid Balancing – Storing surplus renewable energy as hydrogen for later use.
- Industrial Decarbonization – Providing clean hydrogen for steel, cement, chemicals, and refineries.
- Mobility & Transport – Fueling hydrogen-powered trucks, buses, ships, and aviation.
The National Renewable Energy Laboratory has said that to achieve targes, we need to develop clean, low-cost, materials-based hydrogen storage systems.
Types of Green Hydrogen Storage Technologies
Hydrogen can be stored in three primary forms: gaseous, liquid, and solid-state storage. The choice of storage depends on the application, energy density, and cost factors.
1. Gaseous Hydrogen Storage
- Compressed Hydrogen Storage – Hydrogen is stored at high pressures (350–700 bar) in specially designed tanks.
- Pipeline Storage – Hydrogen is transported and stored in high-pressure pipelines, suitable for large industrial networks.
- Underground Storage – Large-scale hydrogen storage in salt caverns, depleted gas fields, and aquifers.
📌 Best for: Hydrogen refueling stations, industrial hydrogen supply, and pipeline networks.
2. Liquid Hydrogen Storage (Cryogenic Storage)
- Liquefied Hydrogen (LH₂) – Hydrogen is cooled to -253°C and stored in cryogenic tanks.
- Hydrogen Transport via LH₂ Carriers – Used for exporting hydrogen over long distances.
📌 Best for: Large-scale industrial applications, shipping, and aviation fuel supply.
3. Solid-State Hydrogen Storage
- Metal Hydrides – Hydrogen is absorbed and released from metal alloys.
- Chemical Hydrogen Storage – Hydrogen is stored in liquid organic carriers (LOHCs) or ammonia for easy transport.
📌 Best for: Long-term hydrogen storage, stationary energy applications, and grid storage.
