NOVELTY - Method for storing and transporting energy involves releasing hydrogen from water at a first location of low energy demand using energy from a first energy source; storing the released hydrogen in a metal hydride slurry; and transporting the metal hydride slurry to a second location of high energy demand remote from the first location. The first energy source comprises a renewable energy source, such as wind, hydroelectric, geothermal, ocean power, and solar.    USE - For storing and transporting energy in the form of hydrogen from a location of low energy demand to a location of high energy demand (claimed), where the hydrogen is used as fuel in vehicles e.g. car, as a carrier gas in laboratory work for a gas chromatograph, as reactant in a chemical reaction, and as a welding gas.    ADVANTAGE - The method allows to store energy in the form of hydrogen at one place where the energy is readily available from wind and/or the sun, and the demand for energy is relatively low, and to transport to a place where energy demand is high. The released hydrogen is stored in the form of metal hydride slurry. The slurry can be safely stored and transported, and the hydrogen may be easily extracted for use as a fuel in e.g. cars. The slurry is not highly flammable or combustible and may be safely handled, stored, and transported. The slurry is stable at normal environmental temperatures and pressures, such that hydrogen does not dissociate from the hydride and evolve. Because it is a liquid, the slurry can easily be pumped through conduits and into storage tanks, transportation devices, and/or charging and discharging devices. The metal hydride slurry can be transported via a carrier (e.g. rail car, truck, tanker, pipe and barge) from the first location to second location.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - Method for storing and transporting energy involves releasing hydrogen from water at a first location first location of low energy demand using energy from a first energy source; storing the released hydrogen in a metal hydride slurry; and transporting the metal hydride slurry to a second location of high energy demand remote from the first location. The method further involves releasing the hydrogen from the metal hydride slurry to form hydrogen and a metal hydride slurry that is at least partially depleted; transporting the partially depleted metal hydride slurry from the second location to the first location; recharging the depleted metal hydride slurry by releasing energy from water at the first location using energy from the first energy source, and storing the released hydrogen in the depleted metal hydride slurry to form the metal hydride slurry; and utilizing the hydrogen released from the metal hydride slurry as an energy source. The first energy source comprises a renewable energy source, such as wind, hydroelectric, geothermal, ocean power, and solar. An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is included for a system comprising an electrolyzer to produce hydrogen using electricity from a first energy source; a metal hydride slurry charging device coupled to the first device; a metal hydride slurry storage vessel coupled to the metal hydride slurry charging device; and a pump to pump a slurry from the metal hydride slurry charging device to the metal hydride slurry storage vessel.    DESCRIPTION OF DRAWING(S) - The figure shows a schematic diagram of storing and transporting energy.
