Gas holder. A gas holder or gasholder, also known as a gasometer, is a large container in which natural gas or town gas ( coal gas or formerly also water gas) is stored near atmospheric pressure at ambient temperatures. The volume of the container follows the quantity of stored gas, with pressure coming from the weight of a movable cap.
The advantages of LH 2 storage lies in its high volumetric storage density (>60 g/L at 1 bar). However, the very high energy requirement of the current hydrogen liquefaction process and high rate of hydrogen loss due to boil-off (∼1–5%) pose two critical challenges for the commercialization of LH 2 storage technology.
There are several storage methods that can be used to address this challenge, such as compressed gas storage, liquid hydrogen storage, and solid-state storage. Each method has its own advantages and disadvantages, and researchers are actively working to develop new storage technologies that can improve the energy …

Research is being conducted on many fronts in the gas storage field to help identify new improved and more economical ways to store gas. Research being conducted by the US Department of Energy is showing that salt formations can be chilled allowing for more gas to be stored. This will reduce the size of the formation needed to be treated, and have salt extracted from it. This will lead to cheaper development costs for salt formation storage facility type0.
Cryogenic tanks are also utilized in the energy sector to store and transport liquefied natural gas (LNG), providing an efficient and cleaner energy source. Additionally, cryogenic tanks play a critical role in aerospace, medical, and scientific research, supporting space missions, cryopreservation of biological materials, and cryogenic experiments.
