Southern California Gas Co. (SoCalGas) and GKN Hydrogen announced the commissioning of a research demonstration project with the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) on an innovative clean renewable hydrogen storage solution. The project, which will be located at NREL’s Flatirons Campus in Arvada, Colo., uses GKN Hydrogen’s storage technology to store hydrogen in a solid state (metal hydrides) compared to traditional gaseous storage tanks. The demonstration aims to evaluate the technology’s performance and integration with clean energy systems, such as microgrids or fuel cells. The project also aims to identify the most beneficial uses of solid-state storage of clean renewable hydrogen. At scale, this technology could help accelerate the transition to a net-zero emissions economy by increasing the availability of resilient, on-site renewable power generation and storage.
