Abstract
Overview of advances in the technology of solid state hydrogen storage methods applying different kinds of novel materials is provided. Metallic and intermetallic hydrides, complex chemical hydride, nanostructured carbon materials, metal‐doped carbon nanotubes, metal‐organic frameworks (MOFs), metal‐doped metal organic frameworks, covalent organic frameworks (COFs), and clathrates solid state hydrogen storage techniques are discussed. The studies on their hydrogen storage properties are in progress towards positive direction. Nevertheless, it is believed that these novel materials will offer far‐reaching solutions to the onboard hydrogen storage problems in near future. The review begins with the deficiencies of current energy economy and discusses the various aspects of implementation of hydrogen energy based economy.

Mankind depends completely on nonrenewable resources such as natural gas, coal, and petroleum to fulfill energy needs
Amongst the various problems that exist in the successful materialization of hydrogen fuel based economy, the formulation of a safe, economical, and efficient hydrogen storage method poses the most confronting challenge [11,12,13]
In this review we have presented an overview of the implementation of the hydrogen fuel based energy economy
Summary
Mankind depends completely on nonrenewable resources such as natural gas, coal, and petroleum to fulfill energy needs. The present energy economy is based on fossil fuels which comprise mainly three components: petroleum, natural gas, and coal [24] These nonrenewable forms of energy cannot indefinitely serve as the principal energy sources owing to their continuous depletion and the tremendous rise in their demand. Considering the above three arguments, it can be seen that the transition from the present fossil-fuel based energy economy to a cleaner and sustainable energy economy will be driven by both economical and environmental reasons The future of this implementation depends crucially on the energy storage technologies in combination with the generation of renewable energy sources.
