Summary
IEA Hydrogen Implementation Agreement
Semi-Annual Progress Report
65 th Executive Committee Meeting, Fukuoka, Japan
11-14 October 2011
Task 22: Fundamental and applied hydrogen storage materials
development
Professor Bjørn C. Hauback, IFE, Norway. Operating Agent
Hydrogen storage is considered by many as the most challenging aspect for achieving a
hydrogen-based economy. Task 22 addresses hydrogen storage in solid materials. The task
started December 1 st 2006 for a period of 3 years, and with an extension for 3 years Task
22 will end 30. November 2012. At present 54 Experts from 17 countries participate in 48
projects in Task 22. The 9 th Task 22 meeting was held in Copenhagen in Denmark 4-8
September 2011 with 63 participants. 38 out of the 48 projects were presented in the
meeting. In addition there were presentations describing hydrogen storage activities in
Denmark and and two observers’ presentation. The projects show very good progress with
a significant international collaboration for the majority of them. One session was
allocated to discussions about the future of hydrogen storage within IEA HIA after Task
22. The next meetings will be in Heidelberg, Germany in May 2012 and the final Task 22
meeting in Kyoto, Japan in October 2012.
Task description
Task 22 addresses hydrogen storage in solid materials. The research efforts require new
materials and solutions, and not simple, incremental improvements in current
technologies. The specific goals and objectives for research on hydrogen storage materials
in Task 22 are:
A. Develop a reversible or regenerative hydrogen storage medium fulfilling international
targets for hydrogen storage.
B. Develop the fundamental and engineering understanding of hydrogen storage by
various hydrogen storage media that have the capability of meeting Target A.
C. Develop hydrogen storage materials and systems for use in mobile and stationary
applications and also other potential energy related applications, for example in
batteries.
Task 22 is open to a broad spectrum of project types:
• Experimental
• Engineering
• Theoretical
• Modelling
• Safety aspects of hydrogen storage materials
1

The following classes of materials are included:
• Reversible metal hydrides
• Regenerative hydrogen storage materials (chemical hydrides)
• Nanoporous materials
Task 22 is built on projects with international collaboration strongly encouraged. A project
plan is prepared for each project. The number of Experts is 54, see Table 1.

Activities during the previous six months
Meeting number nine of Task 22 was held in Copenhagen, Denmark 4-8 September 2011.
The program for the meeting is attached. A photo with the participants is shown in Fig. 1.
Dr. Torben R. Jensen, Aarhus University, prof. Fleming Besenbacher, head of the iNANO
center at Aarhus University, and other staff-members hosted the meeting in an excellent
way. The meeting was partly in The Royal Danish Academy for Science and Letters and
one day at the Carlsberg Academy (in the house where Niels Bohr lived for 31 years).
There was in total 63 participants present at meeting, and thus it is the Task 22 meeting
with most attendance so far. Table 2 below summarizes the Task 22 meetings.

Prof. Ping Chen from Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics, China and Prof. Isaac Jacob
from Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, Israel participated in the meeting. It is a hope
that they can contribute to participation from China and Israel in the IEA HIA.
Major Accomplishments
In the first morning session of the Task 22 meeting in Copenhagen the local hosts Dr.
Torben R. Jensen and Prof. Fleming Besenbacher welcomed the Experts. This was
followed by a presentation from DONG Energy, one of the major sponsors of the meeting,
a presentation about hydrogen research activities in Denmark by Torben R. Jensen and the
Task 22 introduction by the OA. Furthermore the invited observers, Isaac Jacob from
Israel and Ping Chen from China presented new research results from their activities. In
the following sessions 38 out of 48 projects were presented and discussed.
As usual the meeting was organized in sessions addressing the different types of materials
and each session was followed by a discussion led by a moderator. The sessions were: (i)
(i) Methods; (ii) Nanoporous materials and “nano-hydrides”; (iii) Mg-based, composites,
AlH 3 and chemical hydrides; (iv) Borohydrides; and (v) Engineering/Applied hydrogen
storage. Every presentation showed new unpublished results and with a significant
international collaboration in particular with other Task 22 Experts. To present new results
5

in the Task 22 meetings have been continuously stressed by the OA. This is one of the
most important reasons for the strong interest to attend the Task 22 meetings by the
international leading experts in the field. As usual there were very good discussions. The
presentations and discussions in the Engineering/Applied hydrogen storage session gave
an overview of different important applications of hydrogen storage materials, and with a
strong emphasize on the important link between research related to materials development
and applications.
New future hydrogen storage task (to follow task 22 after November 2012) was discussed
in a special session on Monday evening. The Chair of the IEA HIA ExCo, Dr. Jan Jensen
participated in this session. He gave an overview of the IEA HIA as an introduction to the
discussion. It is a strong interest from the Experts to establish a new task following Task
22. The proposed title is “Hydrogen-based energy storage technologies” The first proposal
for a new task will be prepared by the OA for the ExCo-meeting in Fukuoka, Japan. More
details about the new task will be discussed in the Task 22 meeting in Heidelberg in May
2012 and the plan is to present the final proposal at the ExCo meeting in Canada in June
2012.
A web-site: www.hydrogenstorage.org is available for the Task 22. It includes information
about the Experts, short information about the Task 22 meetings and the annual reports
from each project. However, unfortunately the web-site is still not updated, but this is
planned to be done as soon as possible.
Status of milestones
Task 22 started in December 2006. The 9 th Experts meeting was organized 4-8 September
2011. The presentations of the projects show a significant progress related to new solid
compounds for hydrogen storage, the use of catalysts, better understanding of varieties of
properties of the materials, and interesting and promising examples of applications of solid
compounds in demonstration and also more industrial projects. However, still further work
has to be carried out to reach the international goals for hydrogen storage. Different types
of applications need different properties of the hydrogen storage system, and thus
development in different directions. International collaboration as obtained within Task 22
will be a key for a possible solution of this challenging problem. It is still a significant
international activity is this field, but there are concerns in several countries about
reductions in funding.
Abbreviated Work Plan and Milestones for next months
The following meetings will be 6-10 May 2012: Heidelberg, Germany (organized by Dr.
Maximilian Fichtner). The final Task 22 meeting is planned to be in Kyoto, Japan, 26-27
October 2012 with Dr. N. Kuriyama and Prof. Y. Kojima as organizers. It will linked to
the MH2012 (the main hydrogen storage materials meeting organized every second year)
Effectiveness of Task Participation
The participation in Task 22 is very good. Most of the Experts were present at the meeting
in Copenhagen, and 38 out of 48 projects were presented by the Experts themselves or by
proxies. This shows that participation in the IEA HIA Task 22 meetings is given a high
priority by the Experts.
