Immaterial develops metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) that exhibit ultra-high hydrogen storage efficiency. MOFs are made of porous coordination polymers - carefully selected components, when mixed together, self-assemble into a precise lattice structure with metal ions at each corner and organic linkers at each edge. The company can design MOFs with highly specific pore sizes, surface chemistry and wide range of other physical properties, depending on needs. They use molecular modeling methods to select the most effective material and solve the customer's "problem" based on a combination of system performance metrics and other relevant properties not covered by computational screening, such as chemical stability, strength and ease of synthesis.

Hydrogenious Technologies creates plants for the safe and efficient storage of hydrogen in liquid organic hydrogen carriers (LOHC). Its storage units are designed to safely bind hydrogen to a liquid organic carrier, benzyltoluene. The hydrogenation process is flexible and meets the needs of, for example, hydrogen production connected to renewable energy sources. The units are designed to produce several tons of hydrogen per day. The exothermic hydrogen storage reaction releases high-temperature heat suitable for heating. And hydrogen production units from LOHC oils are ideal for medium and large-volume industrial hydrogen consumption, supplying hydrogen terminals and nodes, as well as for injection into pipelines.

Ayrton Energy has developed e-LOHC technology - a combination of liquid organic hydrogen carrier (LOHC) and electrochemistry - for the safe storage and transportation of hydrogen. Unlike traditional hydrogen storage in cryogenically cooled high-pressure tanks, e-LOHC stores hydrogen as a liquid at room temperature, allowing it to be transported like diesel fuel using existing fuel infrastructure. e-LOHC uses a carrier oil that readily absorbs and releases hydrogen gas, like hydrogen sponges. Hydrogen molecules chemically bond with the lean carrier fluid through an electrochemical reaction, creating a safe, energy-dense hydrogen storage medium. When needed, hydrogen is released from the carrier fluid and delivered at a purity sufficient for fuel cells.

FuelX Innovation produces Alan - hydrogen-based solid fuel. Alan is an aluminum hydride (AlH3) solid-state hydrogen storage material. Alan has three times the energy per unit weight (Wh/kg) of lithium-ion batteries, making it critical for aviation and personal energy applications. Alan is safe, can be stored at atmospheric pressure for decades, can be transported by land and air, and provides fuel cells with low-pressure hydrogen. FuelX also produces energy systems for a variety of applications, including power systems for soldiers, electric scooters, aviation and personal watercraft. The company has a contract with the U.S. Army to produce 250-Wh energy cartridges for soldiers.

Storelectric creates large-scale, long-term energy storage systems. Its technology combines compressed air storage (CAES) and hydrogen storage. Its projects utilize underground salt caverns (either newly built or repurposed from oil and gas storage) for large-scale, long-term storage of hydrogen and electricity. The company integrates these systems with renewable energy sources, compressed air energy storage, electrolysis and fuel synthesis, supporting both electricity and gas grids and grid interconnections. A pressure-control system allows hydrogen to be stored at the same pressure as its production (30–300 bar), minimizing energy consumption during storage.

Hydro X manufactures hydrogen storage and transportation systems. Its technology uses a patented catalyst and formate-bicarbonate cycle to store hydrogen in a safe and energy-efficient water-based carrier. The process involves chemically charging hydrogen with potassium bicarbonate (common "baking soda") and converting it into an aqueous solution containing water and potassium formate (another commercially available material commonly used to de-icing aircraft wings). This process is fully reversible, allowing hydrogen to be stored and released repeatedly with extremely high conversion rates. Hydro X supplies a range of small-scale hydrogen charging and discharging units of varying capacity and scale for data centers, industrial plants and residential buildings.
