Method for storing a gas in a metal organic framework and dissolved in a liquid carrier

A method of storing a solution of hydrogen and a C2-C30 hydrocarbon, the method comprising:

• mixing gaseous hydrogen and a C2-C30 hydrocarbon to provide a mixture of hydrogen and C2-C30 hydrocarbon, wherein the mixture comprises greater than or equal to about 50 mole percent of hydrogen;
• maintaining the mixture of hydrogen and C2-C30 hydrocarbon as a liquid solution at a pressure of 30 to 150 bar within a storage vessel, wherein the storage vessel comprises a porous adsorbent framework, and wherein the porous adsorbent framework is a metal organic framework.

A method for storing a solution of carbon dioxide or nitrogen and a C2-C30 hydrocarbon, the method comprising:

• mixing gaseous carbon dioxide or nitrogen and a C2-C30 hydrocarbon to provide a mixture of carbon dioxide or nitrogen and C2-C30 hydrocarbon, wherein the mixture comprises greater than or equal to about 50 mole percent of carbon dioxide or nitrogen;
• maintaining the mixture of carbon dioxide or nitrogen and C2-C30 hydrocarbon as a liquid solution at a pressure of 30 to 150 bar within a storage vessel, wherein the storage vessel comprises a porous adsorbent framework, and wherein the porous adsorbent framework is a metal organic framework.
