Abstract

Hydrogen exists as gas at ambient condition. Gaseous hydrogen has about 1/3000 of volume energy density if it is compared to gasoline. To solve this gap is one of the most serious issues to be solved before realization of the hydrogen economy. There are three realistic ways of hydrogen storage and transportation. They are compressed hydrogen, liquefied hydrogen and hydrogen storage materials. In this review, these hydrogen storage/transportation methods are explained. However, they are not competitive because every method may be utilized in various applications appropriately.
