  • Electrolyzers can produce hydrogen at pressure, so a compressor is not needed.



Storage Tank Suppliers

  • Low, medium, and high pressure storage options - [1]
  • Pictures of storage tanks - [2]



Cryogenic Storage

  • Ultra High Density
  • Can be done using a Delwar, a pure hydrogen gas source, and a cheap cryocooler
  • A diy cryocooler could possibly be made to reduce costs further



Storage as a Synthesized Fuel

  • That can be compressed/liquified as is or it could be further converted into other fuels
  • Methanol can be made from methane via the following process Listed Here
  • Dimethyl Ether Can be Catalytically Converted to Hydrocarbons such as Gasoline This Details How
