CO2-neutral hydrogen storage with a bicarbonate/formate system

Green Car Congress

Our concept has the following advantages: Compared to carbon dioxide, solid bicarbonates are easy to handle and highly soluble in aqueous media (96 g L -1 NaHCO 3. Bicarbonates are a component of many natural stones and are also commonly used as baking powder or sherbet (sodium bicarbonate, NaHCO 3 ). at 20 °C in H 2 O).
