CO2-neutral hydrogen storage with a bicarbonate/formate system

Green Car Congress

Most importantly, after full conversion of the formate, the bicarbonate solution may be recharged with hydrogen to close the cycle. Bicarbonates are a component of many natural stones and are also commonly used as baking powder or sherbet (sodium bicarbonate, NaHCO 3 ).
