High-capacity storage in ISO containers

Most applications for McPhy’s hydrogen storage solution will require the heat from hydrogenation to be stored so it can be used to spark the dehydrogenation reaction: to this end MCP units are constructed. The cartridges containing the McPhy composite and surrounded by a Phase Change Material are put together in containers. The size of these containers can be chosen according to the storage need of the customer. However, using standard transportation container sizes (10 feet, 20 feet) proves very useful in many cases, as it facilitates transportation of the MCP units.
The inherent advantages of magnesium hydrides and the unique technology implemented by McPhy, as well as the choice of form and dimensions for the containers make McPhy’s hydrogen storage solution safe, energy neutral, cheap, easily transportable and quickly chargeable and dischargeable. No other current means of hydrogen storage can list all of these advantages.

With the modular cartridges alone (no need for additional Phase Change Material use), there is already a substantial market that can be served: energy storage for a CSP (concentrated solar power) plant. Green hydrogen production from such a site do not require the heat from the reaction to be stored, as there is plenty of heat available from the CSP plant itself. Combining heat generated/needed by the storage with upstream/dowstream processes procures a drastic improvement of the overall efficiency of the plant.
For this type of solution, the cartridges containing the McPhy composite and surrounded by a heat exchanger are simply put together in a container.
