A method for producing metal borohydride, Me(BH.sub.4).sub.n, from metal boron oxide, Me(BO.sub.2).sub.n, in which Me is a metal or a molecule that shows metal-like behaviour and can act as a metal, and n is an integer number that can be associated with the valence of the metal, wherein in a first fluidized bed step the metal boron oxide is provided in a first fluidized bed. The first fluidized bed is fluidized using a gas selected from at least one of nitrogen, N.sub.2, gas and a noble gas, optionally the noble gas being selected from at least one of helium, He; neon, Ne; argon, Ar; and xenon, Xe, under such circumstances, especially pressure and temperature, that oxygen atoms are removed from the metal boron oxide to provide metal boron, MeBn, particles, possibly ions. In a subsequent second fluidized bed step the metal boron particles are provided in a second fluidized bed that is fluidized using hydrogen, H.sub.2, gas under such circumstances that hydrogen chemically reacts with the metal boron particles to provide metal borohydride.
