Hydrogen Battery "Sponges" Store Solar for the Grid

Cars That Think

A novel project in Australia aims to harness the sun’s energy in two different ways: by storing it and by using it to produce green hydrogen. Dozens of solar farms in the country’s southeastern region are slated to use “ hydrogen batteries ” in coming years. All together they’ll represent a 300-megawatt solar installation.

IIASA study proposes solid air hydrogen liquefaction as efficient addition to hydrogen liquefaction supply chain

Green Car Congress

This is an expensive process and requires around 30% of the energy stored within the hydrogen. Solid Air Hydrogen Liquefaction (SAHL) consists of storing the cooling energy from the regasification of hydrogen, by solidifying air, and transporting the solid air back to where the hydrogen was liquefied.
