After keeping their project a secret for the past six months while
waiting for international patent protection, the researchers plan to
publicly reveal their invention at a scientific conference in Chicago,
reports national daily Jyllands-Posten.

The DTU team has worked for a year and a half to develop a method to
store hydrogen, a lighter-than-air, inflammable gas, in a compact,
solid form.

'Before, the amount of hydrogen needed to fuel a passenger vehicle for
500km occupied the same space as nine passenger vehicles. With our
pill, the same amount of energy can be contained in a normal 50 litre
tank,' said Christensen.
