Enum: HydrogenStorageMethod

Methods for storing hydrogen for later use or transport.

URI: valuesets:HydrogenStorageMethod

Permissible Values

Value Title Meaning Description Maturity Pressure Bar Scale Temperature C
COMPRESSED_GAS Compressed Gas Storage Storage of hydrogen as compressed gas at high pressure (350-700 bar) in pressure vessels. commercial 350-700
LIQUID_HYDROGEN Liquid Hydrogen Storage Storage of hydrogen in liquid form at cryogenic temperatures (-253C). Higher energy density but requires insulation. commercial -253
METAL_HYDRIDE Metal Hydride Storage Storage of hydrogen absorbed into metal alloys forming metal hydrides. Safer but heavier than compressed gas. commercial
CHEMICAL_HYDRIDE Chemical Hydride Storage Storage as chemical compounds (ammonia, methanol, LOHC) that release hydrogen when processed.
UNDERGROUND_STORAGE Underground Storage Large-scale storage in salt caverns, depleted gas fields, or aquifers for grid-scale applications. utility
CRYO_COMPRESSED Cryo-Compressed Storage Hybrid approach combining cryogenic cooling with high pressure for improved density. emerging
