  • Publication number: 20240117934
    Abstract: Disclosed are a hydrogen tank and a method of operating the same. The hydrogen tank includes a tank vessel configured with an enclosed interior space for storing an admixture of carbon dioxide and gaseous hydrogen; and a tank port configured to fluidly contact the interior space of the tank vessel and including a semipermeable membrane, which is configured substantially permeable for the gaseous hydrogen and substantially impermeable for the carbon dioxide and is arranged to seal the tank vessel against the outside. The gaseous hydrogen can enter and leave the tank vessel through the tank port via the semipermeable membrane but carbon dioxide is kept in the tank vessel.
