Abstract
In the now a day-age the energy industry is in a transitional phase. Humanity is searching to find an answer to the depletion of fossil fuels, with the exploration of new renewable resources. These renewable resources, in contrary to fossil fuels, require to be continuously balanced between production peaks and lows. Leading to the need for energy storage. Most likely, by the year 2100, every Amsterdammer in his or her daily life is relying on electrical energy produced by renewable energy sources, stored in batteries in their own homes. This seems from a sustainable point of view to be of great progression. However, although the energy consumed will then be infinite, the storage sure is not. A considerable problem remains in the increasing amount of energy stored in unsustainable and finite lithium-ion batteries. As a solution, energy could instead be stored in Hydrogen gas storage facilities. This poses a design problem to find out what a hydrogen facilities must become to be implemented on a large scale within the urban environment.
