To meet this challenge and to satisfy the constant energy demand of society, electricity must be stored in times of overproduction to provide energy when little sunshine and wind is available. To store the green electricity in a highly scalable way, it must be converted into chemical energy. Energy Environ. doi: 10.1039/D0EE03659E.

A typical method of hydrogen storage is physically storing hydrogen using compression or liquefaction; these methods require higher energy to increase storage capacity and expensive distributing infrastructure. Hydrogen can be safely stored in LOHCs at room temperature and atmospheric pressure before being extracted at locations for use.
