The hydrogen is chemically bound in the metal lattice, with around 97% held in solid form in the metal hydride. The system uses solid-state storage at up to 35 bar and does not require compression for storage. SVGW Guideline H10001 governs safety and permitting.

Conventional gas storage systems operate at 300 to 700 bar and require compression. In the metal hydride, hydrogen is chemically bound at up to 35 bar. One kilogram occupies around 20 litres compared with 310 litres in a 40 bar gas storage system, without a compressor for storage.

SVGW Guideline H10001 is the basis. Co-developed by eRevo, it provides the safety framework for building integrated H₂ systems and covers risk analysis, fire protection, ventilation and explosion protection. It is also the reference for SIA-compliant planning.

Payback periods of under 10 years may be possible under ideal conditions and without funding. The potential analysis shows how significant the levers are at your site and provides robust figures for your project.

Each storage system operates in its own market. Short-duration storage serves balancing energy, intraday trading, peak shaving and ancillary services. Long-duration storage serves seasonal shifting, while thermal output supplies heat. Added to this are your own electricity tariff within the ZEV or self-consumption community, and the CO2 reduction pathway, with funding instruments potentially available from around 1,000 tonnes of CO2 per year.

The manufacturer guarantees storage capacity for 20 years. In practice, the storage system is designed to last several decades. If performance declines, the storage medium can be regenerated with noble gas. At decommissioning, the pure metal can return fully to the material cycle.

Three things are required. First, a PV surplus, because the system must produce more electricity is consumed on site, and this surplus is what is stored. Second, a functioning water connection, because electrolysis obtains hydrogen from water. A reliable water supply is therefore a prerequisite for operation. Third, a suitable installation room with access. The Quick Check shows within a few minutes whether your site may be suitable.

At every stage, although the preliminary study is usually the most effective point of involvement. We work within the SIA phase model, with clear interfaces to HVAC, electrical, fire protection and conformity. Where the client wants design-build, we can provide that too.

Your specialist planners remain responsible for their respective disciplines. Thermal integration stays with the HVAC planner, while electrical integration stays with the electrical planner. The system architecture between these disciplines is provided by eRevo.

Potential analysis, one month. Options study, two months. Preliminary project, three months. Realisation, six to twelve months. These activities fit within your existing construction and planning processes.

Batteries cover day-to-night balancing, while long-duration storage handles seasonal shifting. Metal hydride storage moves surplus summer energy into the winter, with minimal self-discharge. The hydrogen remains chemically bound in the metal lattice until needed, including over a service life of more than thirty years.

No. Everything is produced on site. The electrolysis converts your surplus electricity into hydrogen, the storage system is installed in the building, and the fuel cell converts the hydrogen back into electricity. The system does not require transport of hydrogen or a national H₂ infrastructure as a prerequisite.

The long-duration storage system works without rare earth elements and without lithium. At decommissioning, the pure metal can return fully to the material cycle. This supports circular construction in energy infrastructure too.
