Hydrogen can be stored on-board a vehicle as a high pressure gas, a liquid, or in a semi solid form (hydride, adsorbed in activated carbon, micro spheres and others). The choice of a standardized on-board storage system will be critical to the success of hydrogen fuel cell powered vehicles. The ideal on-board storage system would be intrinsically safe, have a high energy density, would refuel quickly, and have no evaporative or gaseous losses. This paper is a cursory review of vehicle hydrogen storage options.
