How much does it cost to store hydrogen energy?

According to the given data, $11.81/kg is the cost for hydrogen energy storage at 80% fill capacity. The cost for 10k psi H2 storage is $459/kg, which amounts to $2,643,840 for 5760 kg. For cryo H2 storage, the cost is $25.5/kg, totaling $81.6 million for 3.2 million kg.

Is Israel moving towards a hydrogen-fueled future?

Israel has several companies that are looking towards a hydrogen-fueled future. There is one water-splitting company, H2PRO, and two fuel cell companies — GenCell and PO-CellTech, the latter being a company of Elbit Systems.
