A new paper from the Oxford Institute for Energy Studies.
This paper evaluates the relative merits and techno-economic features of major types of hydrogen storage options: (i) pure hydrogen storage, (ii) synthetic hydrocarbons, (iii) chemical hydrides, (iv) liquid organic hydrogen carriers, (v) metal hydrides, and (vi) porous materials. The paper also discusses the main barriers to investment in hydrogen storage and highlights key features of a viable business model, in particular the policy and regulatory framework needed to address the primary risks to which potential hydrogen storage investors are exposed.
