Heat management is the design bottleneck in creation of rational gas storage sorption systems. Inefficient heat transfer in sorption bed is connected with relatively low thermal conductivity (0.1–0.5 W/m/K) and appreciable sorption heat of activated gas storage materials. This work is devoted to development and research of the thermally regulated onboard system of hydrogenous gas (ethane, and hydrogen) storage applying the novel carbon sorbents. We suggested the hydrogenous gas storage based on combined gas adsorption and compression at moderates pressures (3–6 MPa) and low temperatures (from the temperature of liquid nitrogen about 77 K to 273 K).
