PRODUCT
What is Metal Hydride?
Metal hydride can store hydrogen. This differs from the storage of hydrogen in the form of high-pressure gas or liquid. Metal hydride has the following characteristics:
Safety
- Metal hydride can absorb and release hydrogen at low pressure and close to room temperature.
- Metal hydride can minimize in the event of a hydrogen leak.
Space saving
- Metal hydride can store hydrogen at a high density.
Long stability
- Metal hydride can store hydrogen in chemically stable form.

PROBLEM
Are you facing any challenges when using hydrogen?
For first-time hydrogen users who want to:
- introduce hydrogen, but are unable to handle it in the form of high-pressure gas or liquid due to legal compliance or necessity of special equipments.
For existing hydrogen users who want to:
- store hydrogen in less space.
- store or use hydrogen that is suitable for applications.
- store more hydrogen.

Material properties
Metal hydride demonstrates optimal performance across a wide range of applications.
Metal hydride has two key characteristics:
Metal hydride has two key characteristics:
| 01 | FEATURES |
Storing hydrogen from a wide variety of sources
Metal hydride is suitable for a wide variety of hydrogen sources such as reusable energy, factory emmission, or boil-off gas. It stores hydrogen appropriately depending on the application.It allows you to handle hydrogen safely and easily at low gas pressure and the temperature below 100℃.
| 02 | FEATURES |
A hydrogen storage method that is easy to handle
Metal hydride can store and discharge hydrogen at low pressure and at close to room temperature. This means that you can handle hydrogen without the need for special equipments such as compressors or cooling units, and easily install it for your application.
