4) Using H2:
“Sure I’ll take that energy off your hands… it’ll cost you.”

We can make hydrogen! Cool! Now what? Jacob Leachman • School of Mechanical and Materials Engineering
2. Storing H2: Geological & Gaseous • Gaseous
at 700 bar (10,000 psi) and 295 K is 39.7 g/L • $700/kg above ground vs. $7/kg below ground c
