Hydrogen storage on superactivated carbon at refrigeration temperatures

Abstract This paper presents a comparison of hydrogen storage on superactivated carbon (AX-31M) at refrigeration temperatures (SA-M) to that of more traditional alternatives: compressed gas storage, liquefaction and metallic hydride systems. It specifically reports investigations on the performance characteristics of this new SA-M system. Based on the experimental data obtained, an economic evaluation relative to the other alternatives is made. The SA-M system is demonstrated to be an alternative hydrogen storage method with a great future potential.
