Described are storage and dispensing vessels and related systems and methods, for dispensing reagent gas from a vessel in which the reagent gas is held in sorptive relationship to a solid adsorbent medium, the reagent gas being contained at super-atmospheric pressure and the solid adsorbent medium comprising a metal-organic framework.

The invention relates to a hydrogen pressure tank using a metal hydride arranged in a porous matrix material. It is provided that the metal hydride is fixed in the structure of the matrix material.

A system uses existing pipelines, e.g., natural gas, oil, etc., to transport hydrogen to one or more distribution points. The disclosed hydrogen distribution system enables use of water, sewer, storm drain and other existing pipelines for local distribution. Hydrogen is produced from an energy source at a producing location. A safety pipe is located inside an existing pipeline configured to carry a first product and a hydrogen delivery line, configured to carry hydrogen, is placed inside the safety pipe such that a channel is formed between an exterior of the hydrogen delivery line and an interior of the safety pipe. Hydrogen is injected into the hydrogen delivery line and a sweeper gas is injected into the channel to purge any hydrogen that might be leaking from the hydrogen delivery line.

The present disclosure provides for a porous gas sorbent monolith with superior gravimetric working capacity and volumetric capacity, a gas storage system including a porous gas sorbent monolith of the present disclosure, methods of making the same, and method for storing a gas. The porous gas sorbent monolith includes a gas adsorbing material and a non-aqueous binder.

Methods and materials for the selective capture and storage of preselected materials from gas streams using metal organic framework (MOF) materials are described. In various embodiments preselected target material gases could include noble gasses such as Kr, Xe, Rn, Arultramicro to mesopore frameworks for selective separation and storage of noble gases, other gasses such as I.sub.2 or other particular isotopes either naturally occurring or man-made, or another preselected gas capture material such as a target material for legal, regulatory or treaty compliance, or a preselected material from a particular process such as a cleaning or etching agent from semiconducting or microelectronic manufacture, or a portion of an anesthetic gas such as nitrous oxide, isoflurane, sevoflurane or a fluorinated ethers.

Disclosed is a hydrogen storing method having improved energy efficiency by efficiently reusing heat through a heat circulation structure. Specifically, the hydrogen storing method includes supplying hydrogen by the supply device, compressing hydrogen received from the supply device by a compression device, receiving the hydrogen compressed by the compression device and storing the same in a storage device, and transferring heat generated from the storage device to the compression device, wherein the compression device and the storage device each include solid state hydrogen storage materials that cause an exothermic reaction when hydrogen is stored and an endothermic reaction when hydrogen is released.

Described are storage and dispensing systems and related methods, for the storage and selective dispensing germane a reagent gas from a vessel in which the reagent gas is held in sorptive relationship to a solid adsorbent medium at an interior of a storage vessel and wherein the methods and dispensing systems provide dispensing of the reagent gas from the storage vessel with a reduced level of atmospheric impurities contained in the dispensed reagent gas.
