An experimental stand for measuring the specific methane storage capacity of monolithic adsorbent samples was designed and produced. Experimental studies of methane accumulation on compacted monolithic samples of industrial activated carbon were carried out in a range of pressures up to 8 MPa and temperatures from –29.7 to 90°C. It was shown that refrigeration drastically increases methane storage capacity: target level of 150 m3 (NTP)/m3 can be reached at 1.8 MPa and –29.7°C.
