ResumoTraditionally, hydrogen has been stored, transported and used in the form of compressed gas or cryogenic liquid. Rechargeable metal hydrides have been proposed as an alternative solid state storage method. A dynamic research community has assembled to explore the scientific basis and evaluate the technology of this hydrogen-metal reaction (1-4). Metal hydride topics have been discussed at each of the World Hydrogen Energy Conferences (1976 Miami, 1978 Zurich, 1980 Tokyo) and last year's ACS meeting in Hawaii. The International Symposium on Hydrides for Energy Storage - Geilo, Norway, August 1977 was attended by over 70 researchers. It's successor, the International Symposium on the Properties and Applications of Metal Hydrides - Colorado Springs, April 1980, had over 225 attendees. Approximately 35% of these participants represented industrial organizations. A third meeting of the metal hydride community is scheduled for Japan in 1982. Although the fundamental properties of metal hydride systems are still
