Temporary high-pressure Hydrogen storage?

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the feasibility and safety of temporarily storing high-pressure hydrogen (around 10,000 psi) in tanks for short durations (3-4 hours) before converting it to hydride for long-term storage. The focus includes practical challenges and safety concerns associated with high-pressure hydrogen storage.

Discussion Character

  • Debate/contested, Technical explanation, Conceptual clarification

Main Points Raised

  • One participant proposes the idea of using high-pressure tanks for short-term hydrogen storage before conversion to hydride.
  • Another participant questions the efficiency of compressing hydrogen, suggesting it may be wasteful.
  • Multiple participants express concerns about the practical difficulties and dangers associated with high-pressure hydrogen storage, with one participant reiterating the warning against pursuing this method.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree on the dangers and practical difficulties of high-pressure hydrogen storage, but there is no consensus on the viability of the proposed method of temporary storage before conversion to hydride.

Contextual Notes

Participants highlight the need for caution regarding safety and practicality, but do not delve into specific technical details or assumptions that may affect the discussion.

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 .
