  Hydrogen is undoubtedly one of the key alternatives  to replace 
petroleum products
as a clean energy carrier for both transportation and stationary 
applications. Although
there have been numerous material systems studied as potential 
candidates for hydrogen
storage applications, none of them have demonstrated sufficient capacity 
or efficiency
in the required operating temperature ranges. There are still 
considerable opportunities
for the discovery of new materials. The University of Utah is a partner 
in the US DOE
Metal Hydride Center of Excellence, and has been doing research on 
light-metal hydrides
for hydrogen storage. An overview of developments in this field will be 
presented.
