Lava energy storage hydrogen production

What is Lavo's hydrogen energy storage system?

At LAVO, we’re focused on green hydrogen. LAVO’s Hydrogen Energy Storage System (HESS) combines patent pending metal hydride storage technology with a lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery, fuel cell, electrolyser,and innovative digital platform, to provide ground-breaking, long-duration energy storage capabilities.

How can the hydrogen storage industry contribute to a sustainable future?

As educational and public awareness initiatives continue to grow, the hydrogen storage industry can overcome current challenges and contribute to a more sustainable and clean energy future.

What are the benefits of hydrogen storage?

4. Distribution and storage flexibility: hydrogen can be stored and transported in a variety of forms, including compressed gas, liquid, and solid form . This allows for greater flexibility in the distribution and storage of energy, which can enhance energy security by reducing the vulnerability of the energy system to disruptions.

Where is hydrogen stored?

All the hydrogen is stored in four small red hydride containers; the rest of this beefy cabinet is taken up with the electrolyzer, battery, and fuel cell stack And the final joy killer is the system's maximum continuous power output of 5 kW, limited presumably by the throughput of the fuel cell.

How can hydrogen infrastructure improve energy security?

This allows for greater flexibility in the distribution and storage of energy, which can enhance energy security by reducing the vulnerability of the energy system to disruptions. The development of hydrogen infrastructure, such as pipelines and fueling stations, is needed to fully realize these benefits.

Can you store energy as hydrogen?

Normally, people do this with lithium battery systems – Tesla's Powerwall 2 is an example. But Australian company Lavo has built a rather spunky (if chunky) cabinet that can sit on the side of your house and store your excess energy as hydrogen.
