Don't hold your breath! We haven't begun to hear from the advocates concerning safety concerns. Imagine their yowls when they learn that these gases are right next to their brain!
"NTT has designed a hydrogen storage unit that is slightly bigger than an automobile battery that can store 50 liters of hydrogen. In the home, it could be used as a refueling station for a number of types of fuel cells, although is too big for portable use.
Building a supply and container infrastructure, creating international packaging standards and making a legal framework to allow transportation of hydrogen canisters will take about 3 years, a year longer than it will take to resolve similar issues with methanol, Akiyama estimated. Regulations to allow passengers to carry methanol fuel canisters onboard commercial airliners should be completed around 2007.
'The fuel canisters we are using are very heavy and we need to make them smaller and lighter, and safety is a big concern,' he said. "
