Abstract

Compression is one of the most critical issues related to almost all hydrogen storage methods and its subsequent usage. Hydrogen compression is only part of the so-called “Hydrogen Value Chain”, but it is crucial for overcoming the entry barriers for a “Hydrogen Economy”. It is widely accepted that there is a strong need for significant improvements in efficiency, durability and reliability of hydrogen compressors as well as for cost reductions, The basic scope of this work is to present the current developments on Metal Hydride Hydrogen Compressors (MH2C) and try to evaluate from both technical and economical point of view the potential integration of MH2C in real power systems comprising Renewable Energy Sources and Hydrogen technologies.
