IEA HIA ExCo 11/06
Proposal – Task 22Fundamental and applied hydrogen storage
materials development
Presented at 55th Executive Committee Meeting
7 – 9 November 2006 Petten, NETHERLANDS
Bjørn C. HaubackProposed Operating AgentPhysics Department, Institute for Energy TechnologyP.O. Box 40, NO-2027 Kjeller, [email protected]
IEA HIA ExCo 11/06
1. Background
• A solution for hydrogen storage is a crucial step for the introduction of a Hydrogen Economy.
• Considered (by many) to be the most technologically challenging aspect.
• Long-term goals never met by compressed or liquid hydrogen, the only possible solution is solid materials.
• Significant achievements (Task 17), but further progress still needed to fulfil international goals.
• Will require new materials and solutions, not incremental improvements in current technologies.
IEA HIA ExCo 11/06
2. Background – Lessons from Task 17• Significant achievements obtained.• Work on new promising compounds, like alanates,
amides/imides systems, borohydrides, metastable Mg-based compounds. Better basis for evaluation of nanoporous materials obtained.
• Safety sessions and development of storage units.• 38 Experts from 13 countries, 36 projects.• > 800 publications, presentations and patents.• ”Largest international collaboration on hydrogen storage
ever established” (G. Sandrock).
• Significant potential for new and further improvements of hydrides and nanoporous materials Propose the present Task 22.

Task planning workshopWindermere UK1 – 4 May 2006
68 participants (including IPHE-representatives)
Agenda: •Task targets and project structure.• Participation (countries, experts, level of effort etc.)• Interaction IEA HIA – IPHE.
IEA HIA ExCo 11/06
3. Annex goals and objectives• Develop a reversible or regenerative hydrogen
storage medium fulfilling international targets for hydrogen storage.
• Develop the fundamental and engineering understanding of hydrogen storage by various hydrogen storage media that have the capability of meeting Target A.
• Develop hydrogen storage materials and systems for use in stationary applications.
Propose not to quantify the targets, but with reference
to national Targets (e.g. US DOE). Gives more flexibility and also include more than wt% H2, temperature for H2 release and pressure.

4. Annex Project StructureProjects type:• Experimental• Engineering• Theoretical• Modelling (scientific or engineering)• Safety aspects of hydrogen storage materials
Classes of H-storage media:• Reversible metal hydrides• Regenerative hydrogen storage materials (chemical
hydrides)• Nanoporous materials• Rechargeable organic liquids and solids
IEA HIA ExCo 11/06
5. Proposed participation – based on the Windermere Task Planning workshop
• 15 countries.• Proposed 46 Experts (based on input from Experts). For a
few countries the proposed Expert(s) not finally approved by the respective ExCo members.
• 43 organizations (Universities, National Laboratories and Companies).
• 43 projects.• Proposed effort: 60.75 Py/y (min 1 Py/y for each country).• All Experts agreed to participate according to the HIA rules
and guidelines of this specific task (subject to available local funding and executed National Participation Letters (NPL) by the respective ExCo members).

5. Participation
• Based on the preliminary approval by the ExCo in Lyon, each Expert in the Windermere workshop have provided a Project Plan (based on their Windermere-presentation).
• T22 Proposal and Project Plans distributed to ExCo for approval of Projects and T22 Experts.
• During the first period of the Task (at least the first year) new Experts are welcome when:– Respective ExCo member approve participation.– Their project approved by the Experts.
• One Expert per institution, only exception (completely) different expertise.

Switzerland (NPL to come)A. Züttel, U. of Fribourg
K. Yvon, U. of Geneva (not in
Windermere)
United Kingdom (NPL under discussion)
P. Anderson, Birmingham Univ.
D. Book, Birmingham Univ.
B. David, ISIS
P. Edwards, Univ. of Oxford
Z.X. Guo, University of London
I. Morrison, Univ. of Salford
K. Ross, Univ. of Salford

5. Potential participants (invited to T22 worshop)• The following Experts (not present at Windermere) have expressed
interest to participate:– Professor R. Griessen, Vrije University, Netherlands (seems ok)– Professor H. Jonsson, University of Iceland, Iceland (seems ok)– Professor K. Yvon, University of Geneva, Switzerland (probably ok)– Professor J. Huot, UQTR, Canada (NPL written)– Dr. M. Heben, NREL, USA– Dr. A.Cooper, Air Products, USA– Dr. T. Autrey, PNNL, USA– Dr. J. Graetz, BNL, USA– Expert from Turkey (will be invited as observer in next workshop).
• Germany seems to join IEA HIA: 3 institutions (proposed effort 3.5 py/y) want take part in T22 (presented at Windermere):
• Dr. M. Fichtner, FZK• Dr. M. Hirscher, MPI Stuttgart• Dr. M. Dornheim, GKSS
1. Both IEA HIA and IPHE have the same end objective.
2. IPHE works from high government levels; HIA works primarily from the scientist level.
3. There are numerous efficiency and synergy arguments for collaboration.
4. The Windermere Workshop was opened to non-IEA IPHE participants. We suggest, at minimum, continuation of that policy.
5. Task 22 is sincerely willing to collaborate on whatever bases HIA and IPHE mutually recommend.
6. We acknowledge the ultimate authority of the ExCo for Task 22 operations and will seek their approval for all joint actions.
7. We encourage the continued discussions between IEA and IPHE to establish formal and legal cooperative bases for joint activities.
