Abstract

A hydrogen generation apparatus, in which a hydride is decomposed by a catalyst to produce hydrogen and waste products, comprises: a) a store of solid hydride material (1); b) dissolution means to dissolve at least part of the solid hydride to produce a hydride solution; c) delivery means to deliver the hydride solution to a catalyst (4) for evolution of hydrogen from the solution and production of a waste solution; and d) waste recovery means to remove waste products from contact with a catalyst (6).
