H2MOF publish new whitepaper: the future of hydrogen mobility
Nano-engineered reticular materials can unlock the full potential of hydrogen-powered mobility, according to a White Paper published by H2MOF.
The developer of solid-state hydrogen storage solutions that work under ambient temperatures and low pressure, has delved into the hydrogen mobility market, highlighting the pressing challenges facing the adoption of hydrogen as a fuel for transportation and explore the advantages of solid-state technology as a viable solution for the safe and efficient on-board storage of hydrogen.
The transportation sector accounts for nearly a quarter of global CO2 emissions related to energy, largely because of its heavy dependence on fossil fuels. With the global demand for transport services expected to increase in future years, it is crucial to sustainably transform the sector.

The white paper outlines:
What makes hydrogen a superior fuel option for transportation
What are the main challenges holding back hydrogen-powered mobility: scaling the hydrogen infrastructure and optimising on-board technology
The key role of hydrogen storage in fuel cell vehicles – an overview of the most common storage technologies: compression, liquefaction, metal hydrides and adsorbents
Use cases of storage technologies in mobility: what types of hydrogen fuel tanks are commonly used in each different sector
How H2MOF’s novel approach to hydrogen storage based on reticular-materials can enable cost-effective on-board storage of hydrogen.
Battery-powered electric vehicles (EVs) are often referred to as the key technology to decarbonise road transport. However, the mobility sector extends beyond passenger cars to include trucks, trains, trams, buses, ships and aircrafts – and as much as batteries have proven to be suitable for passenger cars and smaller-scale applications, they may not be universally applicable across all transportation modes. This is where hydrogen comes into play as a promising alternative to fossil fuels.
Hydrogen storage remains the biggest challenge needed to solve to enable the wider adoption of hydrogen-powered mobility. Reliable, cost-effective and safe hydrogen storage technology is essential to establish hydrogen as an affordable and accessible fuel option.
