The intermittent nature of renewable energies inevitably leads to energy surpluses to maintain energy demand at peak times. Consequently, the storage of energy surpluses from renewables becomes a necessity. To tackle this problem, in this work we propose an efficient way of energy storage based on using green hydrogen as an energy vector. Green hydrogen can be store using different technologies but among them, the storage forming chemical bonds represents an unexplored technology that will have an important impact in handling, management and transporting hydrogen. Our aim is to develop efficient systems for hydrogen storage in the form of chemical bonds based on Liquid Organic Hydrogen Carriers (LOHCs) [1].
The key point of efficient LOHCs lies in the design of suitable catalysts and processes for the conversion and reconversion of hydrogen into chemical bonds. In this work, we describe the state of the art in the field [2] [3] and our last results in for hydrogen storage in the form LOHCs.
