【Ten Years of Rapid Development in Chemical Engineering Equipment】Ton-class Magnesium-based Solid Hydrogen Storage Vehicles from 1989 to 2023
Thread Content
Ten years of rapid development in chemical engineering equipment – praise for China’s prosperity and strength. This is just a starting point; more participation will make things even more lively. HaiChuan becomes even better with your involvement; we welcome everyone to join in the forum discussions and exchanges. ********************************************* On April 13, 2023, a ton-class magnesium-based solid hydrogen storage vehicle, developed jointly by institutions such as Shanghai Jiao Tong University, was officially unveiled. This magnesium-based solid-state hydrogen storage and transportation vehicle is 13.3 meters long, with a maximum hydrogen storage capacity of 1 ton. It is equipped with 12 hydrogen storage containers, each containing magnesium-based solid-state hydrogen storage material; this allows hydrogen to be stored within magnesium alloy materials, transforming the medium of transport from gas to solid. As a result, it enables safe storage and transportation of hydrogen over long distances under normal temperature and pressure conditions, while also offering large capacity, high density, and the ability for long-term cyclic storage of hydrogen.
For traditional high-pressure gaseous long-truck trailers, the hydrogen storage capacity is less than 300 kilograms, around 250 kilograms in fact; whereas the current system has a capacity four times that amount, and the cost of transporting hydrogen with it is about one-third of that of using long-truck trailers. Magnesium-based solid hydrogen storage has very high volume and mass densities, which is a significant advantage of it.
Yes, compared to traditional high-pressure gaseous long-truck trailers, ton-class magnesium-based solid hydrogen storage vehicles have a larger hydrogen storage capacity and lower costs. This is because magnesium-based solid hydrogen storage materials possess characteristics such as high density and a high volume effect, enabling more efficient and economical storage and transportation of hydrogen. Furthermore, magnesium-based solid hydrogen storage technology boasts sustainability and environmental benefits, and is expected to be widely used in the future hydrogen energy industry. .
