GKN Hydrogen partners with NREL to test metal hydride storage

GKN Hydrogen is looking to find the best use cases for its metal hydride hydrogen storage technology in a demonstration project with the Department of Energy’s (DOE) National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL).

Located at NREL’s Flatirons Campus in Colorado, the project is using GKN’s solid-state storage technology to evaluate the technology’s performance and integration with systems such as microgrids and fuel cells.

Katherine Hurst, NREL’s head investigator for the project, said, “This project will be the world’s largest hydrogen storage system connected to renewable energy, and the findings could be integral to advancing the interoperability of hydrogen technologies and renewable energies at scale.”
