Abstract: A hydrogen storage and release arrangement comprising a vessel having a first end, a second end and an interior volume. The arrangement includes a first set of tubes extending into the interior volume from the first end of the vessel. Tubes of the first set of tubes each comprise a metal hydride. The arrangement further includes a second set of tubes, where tubes of the second set of tubes each include a metal hydride. The metal hydride of the first set of tubes and the metal hydride of the second set of tubes are arranged to absorb and desorb hydrogen gas in response to temperature changes caused by heat exchange fluid. The second set of tubes extends into the interior volume from the second end of the vessel. The embodiments herein also relate to use of a hydrogen storage and release arrangement and a method for storing and releasing hydrogen.
