✦ Synopsis

The use of light-weight, saline hydrides for storing hydrogen fuel for vehicular internal combustion engines is discussed. Two fuel systems are considered: Hydrogen release by reaction with water:

LiH + HsO ~ LiOH + H2.

Hydrogen release by thermal decomposition (,-, 100°C):

These fuel systems are compared to pressurized gas, cryogenic liquid and metallic hydride hydrogen storage systems.
