The Storage of Hydrogen

  • Chapter
Book cover A Solar—Hydrogen Energy System

Abstract

The main problem in the use of solar energy is the daily and yearly variations, which are not in phase with the variations of energy demand. Therefore, for widespread application of solar energy, it is necessary to store energy collected during “on” times in the form of hydrogen.
