“…Alternative innovative solutions with market disrupting potential are also being developed, such as electrochemical compressors, liquid ionic compressors and metal hydride compressors (MHC). However, these have required further development and innovation in order to progress in terms of environmental and economic performances [4], and to reach full market maturity. Over the last few years, EIFER (European Institute for Energy Research in Karlsruhe, Germany) has been developing, manufacturing and demonstrating an innovative metal hydride compression technology as part of a compression solution to overcome the limitations and answer the challenges faced by the hydrogen industry and support its expansion.…”

In order to be stored efficiently, hydrogen gas is commonly compressed to high pressures making compression a crucial step in the value chain. Existing mechanical compressors have efficiency and reliability drawbacks, while novel technologies require further development and demonstration to reach market maturity. Comprehensive research & development efforts on metal hydride compression have recently resulted in significant advancements, allowing to overcome the main issues. A hybrid compression concept, proposed by the consortium of the COSMHYC project series, benefits from the advantages of both mechanical and metal hydride compression technologies, while limiting their drawbacks. It is currently being tested and demonstrated at full‐scale for implementation in real life applications.

Recently, the industrial and public interest in hydrogen technologies has strongly risen, since hydrogen is the ideal means for medium to long term energy storage, transport and usage in combination with renewable and green energy supply. Therefore, in a future energy system the production, storage and usage of green hydrogen is a key technology. Hydrogen is and will in future be even more used for industrial production processes as reduction agent or for the production of synthetic hydrocarbons, especially in the chemical industry and refineries. Under certain conditions material based systems for hydrogen storage and compression offer advantages over the classical systems based on gaseous or liquid hydrogen. This includes in particular lower maintenance costs, higher reliability and safety. Hydrogen storage is possible at pressures and temperatures much closer to ambient conditions. Hydrogen compression is possible without any moving parts and only by using waste heat. In this paper, the newest developments of hydrogen carriers for storage and compression are summarized. In addition, an overview of the different research activities in this field are given.

“…Additionally, because the storage requirements are similar to propane (vapour pressure p vap,20C = 8 barg [57]), transport ships designed for propane can be used for ammonia. The toxicity and environmental concerns remain significant for ammonia, subject to ongoing research [82]. Figure 13 illustrates the performance of a hybrid battery-hydrogen ESS.…”

Increased renewable energy production and storage is a key pillar of net-zero emission. The expected growth in the exploitation of offshore renewable energy sources, e.g., wind, provides an opportunity for decarbonising offshore assets and mitigating anthropogenic climate change, which requires developing and using efficient and reliable energy storage solutions offshore. The present work reviews energy storage systems with a potential for offshore environments and discusses the opportunities for their deployment. The capabilities of the storage solutions are examined and mapped based on the available literature. Selected technologies with the largest potential for offshore deployment are thoroughly analysed. A landscape of technologies for both short- and long-term storage is presented as an opportunity to repurpose offshore assets that are difficult to decarbonise.
