Case study · Mincatec Energy
Solid-state storage vs compressed gas.
Comparison carried out by Mincatec Energy for an industrial decarbonisation project: 3,000 kg of hydrogen storage, 330 cycles a year over 10 years.
| Solid-state storage (MHYT) | Compressed gas | |
|---|---|---|
| Investment (CAPEX) | €7M ± 10% | €12M ± 10% |
| Equipment | 3,000 tanks, 13 containers, no compressor or chiller | 8 compressors, 8 chillers, 700 bar cylinders |
| Operations (OPEX) | No maintenance, reusable cold | Electricity, maintenance, leaks of 10 to 25% of volume |
| Total cost of ownership | €0.7 per kg of H2 | €1.7 to €2.4 per kg of H2 |
| After 10 years | Tanks still over 99% efficient | Limited residual life |
