The biggest hurdles for the transition to hydrogen as a clean energy carrier are its storage and transportation costs as well as the risk of dangerous leakage and combustion. Our solution offers an inexpensive and safe system for transporting and storing pure hydrogen with absolutely no leakage or permeation. This is a game changer, paving the way for hydrogen to be recognized as a safe, secure, cost-effective, and non-polluting energy carrier on a global scale. This solution for both new and retrofitted storage containers and pipelines prevents permeation and leakage, making the transport and storage of pure hydrogen safe, reliable, and inexpensive. Benefits of the proposed inventions: 1. A hydrogen storage system with 100% no leakage and permeation 2. Pure hydrogen 750 bars (10,877 psi) storage system 3. Pure hydrogen 82 bars (1,200 psi) pipeline 4. Inexpensive 5. No use of pipeline coatings and linings 6. High reliability and safety 7. Technology can be used with existing natural gas pipelines by using an approach similar to pipe-in-pipe technology
