Description Hydrogen stands as one of the most promising energy carriers for achieving the decarbonization goals of the energy system. However, its preservation and storage still pose a significant challenge. One of the most innovative solutions is the use of metal hydrides, which offer several advantages in terms of safety and size for storing hydrogen. The thermal design of such systems is crucial to ensure effective hydrogen absorption and release.
