Abstract

Hydrogen or methane gas pressure container having a minimum volume of 1 m3 a prescribed maximum filling pressure, has a filter through which oxygen, methane respectively, can flow during uptake. The filter has an adsorbent for adsorbing impurities selected from the group consisting of a higher hydrocarbon, ammonia, an odorous substance, hydrogen sulfide and a mixture of two or more of these substances. The pressure container and the filter comprise porous metal organic frameworks as adsorbent.
