Résumé

Hydrogen is the lightest gas, has the smallest atom and is the most abundant element in the universe. As for storing it, which can be as a compressed gas, a cryogenic liquid or in metal hydride, none of the current solutions are yet economic, despite a huge effort being devoted in these area. The current emphasis seems to be concentrating on storing hydrogen in its compressed form since its low liquefaction temperature of 20 K consumes a lot of energy for its formation and providing evaporation is expensive whilst the area of metal hydride is very much in the research stages.
