Abstract
Disclosed is a hydrogen storing method having improved energy efficiency by efficiently reusing heat through a heat circulation structure. Specifically, the hydrogen storing method includes supplying hydrogen by the supply device, compressing hydrogen received from the supply device by a compression device, receiving the hydrogen compressed by the compression device and storing the same in a storage device, and transferring heat generated from the storage device to the compression device, wherein the compression device and the storage device each include solid state hydrogen storage materials that cause an exothermic reaction when hydrogen is stored and an endothermic reaction when hydrogen is released.
