Thanks to a project funded by General Motors, researchers at Sandia National Laboratories have designed and demonstrated key features of a hydrogen storage system that utilises sodium alanate. The system is not meant to fit on board a vehicle and sodium alanate is not the material of choice for onboard storage of hydrogen.
