Hybrid hydrogen storage container and method of storing hydrogen in container

A hybrid-type hydrogen storage container comprising:

• a pressure container having an external volume of less than 200L and a total weight of less than 200 kg;
• a hydrogen absorbing material contained in said pressure container;
• and
• a carrier for holding said hydrogen absorbing material, wherein said pressure container is charged with at least 5 kg of hydrogen by using pressure of 30 MPa or higher, a volume fraction X of said hydrogen absorbing material with αm≧100 kg /m3 with respect to an internal volume of said pressure container is 5 (%)≦X ≦20(%),
• where αm denotes a maximum hydrogen absorption amount per unit volume of the hydrogen absorbing material (kg/m3);
• X=100 Vm/Vi (%);
• Vi is an internal volume of the pressure container (L);
• and
• Vm is a volume of the hydrogen absorbing material in the pressure container (L).
