Summary:This brief article describes the content of this issue of MRS Bulletin on Hydrogen Storage. Hydrogen is a powerful, clean, synthetic fuel with the inconvenient property of being an ideal gas under ambient conditions. In order to use hydrogen efficiently as a fuel, compacting it for mobile storage is a key issue. As an introduction to the following seven contributions on different storage techniques and their potential, we start with a description of the technical and socioeconomic aspects of the mobility and transport issues involved and present an overview of volumetric and gravimetric storage densities for hydrogen.
