Pilot project debuts integrated hydrogen storage and transport using aqueous-salt technology

Hydrogen production is expanding across the globe, but hydrogen gas remains difficult and costly to store and transport, restricting its broader use. A pilot project in Germany is demonstrating for the first time a salt-based process for long-term hydrogen storage. The reversible technology developed by AKROS Energy GmbH relies on an aqueous potassium bicarbonate salt solution to reversibly bind and store hydrogen — essentially converting hydrogen gas into a hydrogen-rich potassium formate solution.
