Temporary high-pressure Hydrogen storage?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

This discussion centers on the feasibility of using high-pressure containers for storing hydrogen at 10,000 psi for short durations, specifically 3-4 hours, before converting it to hydride for long-term storage. Participants unanimously agree that while the concept is theoretically interesting, the practical difficulties and inherent dangers associated with high-pressure hydrogen storage make it inadvisable. The consensus emphasizes the risks involved in compressing hydrogen and the complexities of maintaining containment integrity over time.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of high-pressure hydrogen storage systems
  • Knowledge of hydrogen diffusion and containment materials
  • Familiarity with hydride storage technology
  • Awareness of safety protocols for handling high-pressure gases
NEXT STEPS

I've been looking into compressed Hydrogen storage, and it seems that the high pressure containers have a lot of layers on the inside to keep the Hydrogen from leaking out/diffusing over the lifetime. However now I'm curious as to whether you could use a tank to store high-pressure Hydrogen (in the 10,000 psi range) for a short while (in the 3-4 hr range) while the hydrogen gets converted to hydride for more longterm storage?

Kind of wasteful, compressing it, isn't it?
 
Many practical difficulties and extremely dangerous - just don't do it .

Indeed!
