Hydrogen fuel can be generated from electricity in times when production exceeds demand, for example, on a sunny day solar generated electricity can be stored as hydrogen, which can then be converted back to electricity at a time when supply exceeds demand.
Jacob Prosser explained some difficulties with storing hydrogen, due to the requirement of compressing the gas to fit into a reasonable space. We discussed alternatives to gas storage where hydrogen is reacted to solid materials and stored in a higher density form, and finally, we touched on some challenges associated with large-scale adoption of hydrogen fuel and its advantages.
