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

Storage Tank Suppliers

  • In-ground storage, 2200 PSI - 14"x40' - [1]
  • Low, medium, and high pressure storage options - [2]
  • Pictures of storage tanks - [3]

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

  • Convert to Methane by the Sabatier Reaction
  • 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 made from Methanol This Details How
  • Dimethyl Ether Can be Catalytically Converted to Hydrocarbons such as Gasoline This Details How
  • Hydrogen + Carbon Monoxide can be directly converted to hydrocarbons via the Fischer Tropsch Process

Links

  • This reports the cost of tanks at low-thousands scale for a car - [4]
  • Energy.gov state of art technology report - [5]
  • In an open source economy, these costs make hydrogen storage feasible at today's prices - deployable via community-supported manufacturing.
