Safe Hydrogen Storage Technology

Safe Hydrogen, LLC, of Boston, Massachusetts, has announced the end product of a three-year, $3 million project funded by the U.S. Department of Energy to develop a safer and more efficient method of

storing and delivering hydrogen fuel. The result is a chemical hydride slurry that can store the fuel and, when you “just add water,” generate 99.999% pure hydrogen on demand. The slurry is roughly the consistency of thick paint and can be pumped easily, is non-explosive and nonflammable, can be recycled and replenished, and offers extremely dense hydrogen storage—ten times as dense as compressed hydrogen and twice as dense as liquefied hydrogen. Safe Hydrogen hopes this technology will solve hydrogen’s infamous storage problem, increasing the feasibility of hydrogen-powered fuel cells. More information is available online at
