Abstract

This chapter is dedicated to the technology of storing hydrogen for the usage in aviation. Step by step, different methods of storing hydrogen are explained. There are physical storage systems, but as well other types like chemical, hybrid or adsorption storage. All technologies are described and where needed even in more detail. At the beginning of this chapter, the history of hydrogen storage is recapped, and the different ways of storage are compared in their capacity to store hydrogen. Thereafter, the typical design and installation of hydrogen accumulators in the aviation industry are shown and explained. At the end of the chapter, a short overview on the safety regulation for aviation hydrogen storage is given.
