As hydrogen emerges as a cornerstone of the clean energy transition, the challenge of safe and scalable storage remains a challenge. This panel will discuss next-generation storage solutions, including advancements in Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs), cryogenic storage, and high-pressure vessels. Discussions will focus on current gaps in certification and regulatory pathways, risk-based approaches for navigating regulatory uncertainty, and the role of systems engineering in evaluating cost-effective solutions. Panellists will share insights from real-world applications and industry collaborations that aim to certify MOF-based hydrogen storage technologies. This panel will explore how technology, safety, and regulation shape hydrogen storage solutions and how industry stakeholders can collaborate to make them more effective and widely available.
