LSBU researchers investigating metal hydride hydrogen storage for buses

Green Car Congress

On demand, the hydrogen is released from the hydride (endothermic reaction), utilizing the waste heat of the fuel cell. Thermal management for charging and releasing hydrogen from the storage system needs to be optimized to increase overall efficiency. From Adelhelm & Jongh (2011).
