This article analyzes hydrogen gas compression for efficient storage, focusing on balancing energy consumption and increasing density. Hydrogen is a key energy carrier, but its low energy density per unit volume (about 10 MJ/m³) poses challenges for compact, cost-effective storage. The study evaluates various hydrogen storage methods, including compressed gas (CGH₂), liquid hydrogen (LH₂), and solid-state storage (SSH₂). While liquid hydrogen is energy-intensive and requires specialized infrastructure, gaseous compression remains a viable option, especially for medium- and small-scale applications. Multi-stage compression is crucial for achieving high pressures (at least 350 bar) while minimizing energy use. The study advocates a three-stage compression system, which achieves high-pressure solutions with compression work below 10 MJ/kg, a threshold for sustainable energy use. Hydrogen compression involves significant energy input, with compression work accounting for about 10% of the fuel's calorific value. Multi-stage compression with intercooling is necessary to manage temperature increases and maintain efficiency. The study highlights the importance of balancing compression work, storage system dimensions, and associated costs. It also discusses the thermophysical properties of hydrogen, emphasizing the need for high pressures to increase density. The analysis shows that achieving higher pressures requires more stages and careful temperature control to avoid hydrogen embrittlement. The study concludes that while hydrogen compression is energy-intensive, it remains a critical technology for efficient storage, especially when considering the overall energy efficiency of the system. The optimal compression strategy depends on factors such as the number of stages, maximum compression temperature, and compression ratio. The research underscores the importance of a nuanced approach to hydrogen compression, balancing energy efficiency with practical considerations for storage and transportation. The findings suggest that gaseous compression is a promising solution for hydrogen storage, particularly when integrated with renewable energy systems.This article analyzes hydrogen gas compression for efficient storage, focusing on balancing energy consumption and increasing density.
