SoCalGas and GKN Hydrogen have commenced a groundbreaking project in collaboration with the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) to showcase an innovative solid-state hydrogen storage solution at NREL's Flatirons Campus in Arvada, Colorado. This project involves utilizing GKN Hydrogen's technology to store hydrogen in a solid state, offering a promising alternative to traditional gaseous storage tanks. The primary goal of the demonstration is to assess the technology's performance and its integration with clean energy systems such as microgrids and fuel cells. The project also seeks to determine the most practical applications of solid-state hydrogen storage to enhance the availability of on-site renewable power generation and storage, thereby expediting the shift towards a net-zero emissions economy. By harnessing renewable energy sources like solar and wind, the project will convert water into clean hydrogen through an electrolyzer process. The hydrogen produced will be stored in GKN Hydrogen's system in a solid state using metal hydrides, allowing for up to 500 kilograms of hydrogen storage without compression. Industry leaders from SoCalGas and GKN Hydrogen express optimism about the revolutionary potential of hydrogen in the energy sector and emphasize the significance of storage systems in advancing the decarbonization of industries. The project's collaboration with NREL's ARIES platform aims to validate various commercial and industrial applications for decarbonization, with a focus on integrating diverse energy technologies. With substantial funding from the U.S. Department of Energy and contributions from SoCalGas, the project is poised to drive innovation in hydrogen storage technologies and facilitate the transition towards cleaner energy solutions. Leveraging the expertise of major utilities and research institutions, this project is a significant step towards establishing scalable and interoperable hydrogen technologies in conjunction with renewable energies.
