System and method for storing and recovering hydrogen

Abstract

A system for storing and recovering hydrogen is disclosed. The system may include: a hydrogen inlet; a first phase change material (PCM) unit configured to regenerate the hydrogen to a first temperature; a compressor fluidically connected at one of: between the hydrogen inlet and the first PCM unit, for providing a first pressure level to the hydrogen; or to the at least the first PCM unit via a cooler for providing the first pressure level to cooled hydrogen, and a hydrogen sorbent bed (HSB) storage configured to receive a depressurized cooled hydrogen from one of, the first PCM unit or the compressor, wherein the hydrogen pressure level at the entrance to the HSB storage is at most 80 bar and the temperature at the entrance to the HSB storage is between 20 to 180 K.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
