PATCH – Production and Long-term Containment of Hydrides

PATCH (Production And Long-Term Containment of Hydrides) is examining the feasibility of alternative hydrogen storage mediums.
Working in partnership with Northern Gas Networks and Frazer Nash, it seeks to understand the market for using chemical hydrides (a chemical compound made of hydrogen and another element) as a storage vector for hydrogen and coupling their production to industrial hubs, reducing energy requirements and distributing storage throughout the UK.
