Solution: Change it into a liquid, more hydrogen in volume square

Magnesium hydride, unlike conventional hydrogen storage methods such as compressed and liquefied hydrogen or ammonia, can store more H2 per volume. This is achieved through an innovative process developed in collaboration with Bio-coke Giken Co., in which hydrogen, a byproduct of the chlor-alkali process, reacts with solid magnesium. This reaction forms magnesium hydride on the surface of the metal, encapsulating the H2 molecules for storage or transport at room temperature and atmospheric pressure.

Hysata is headquartered in an 8500 sqm manufacturing facility in Port Kembla, Australia.

Green hydrogen is expected to supply 10 – 15 % of energy in a net zero global economy and contribute 20% of the total abatement required by 2050 for net zero. Crucial to decarbonise hard-to-abate sectors like steel, chemicals, high grade heat and heavy transport, green hydrogen creates a huge commercial and decarbonisation opportunity.

Electrolysers are the key technology to unlock this opportunity. Hysata electrolysers have a huge efficiency advantage, intrinsically low capex and a stack architecture that gives unprecedented ability to scale manufacturing – delivering a disruptive step change in the price of green hydrogen.
