A hydrogen storage and supply apparatus is described. The apparatus has a container that includes a cold enclosure. A porous material capable of occluding hydrogen pervades the cold enclosure. The porous material contains a plurality of light elements including Be, B, C, N, O, F, Mg, P, S, Li, Na, Al, Si and Cl. The cold enclosure can have a temperature in a range between about 30K and 270K and can withstand pressures up to about 50 bara. The container can have a layered wall structure with at least two walls, and there can be a cavity between the walls, which can provide thermal insulation. A hydrogen-consuming system is described in which the hydrogen storage and supply apparatus is used to provide hydrogen to a hydrogen-fueled device. A hydrogen production and distribution system, which used the hydrogen storage and supply apparatuses is described. Methods of storing, supplying and using hydrogen are also described.

1. A hydrogen storage and supply apparatus, comprising: a container having a cold enclosure; a porous material capable of occluding hydrogen, the porous material pervading the cold enclosure, wherein the porous material comprises a plurality of light elements selected from the group consisting of Be, B, C, N, O, F, Mg, P, S, Li, Na, Al, Si and Cl; the container having a layered wall structure having at least two walls, a first wall and a second wall, the first wall surrounding the cold enclosure and the second wall surrounding the first wall; wherein the first wall and a second wall define a cavity therebetween and the cavity provides thermal insulation. 2. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the thermal insulation comprises a high quality vacuum.3. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the thermal insulation comprises an insulating material disposed in the cavity.4. A hydrogen storage and supply apparatus, comprising: a container having a cold enclosure; a porous material capable of occluding hydrogen, the porous material pervading the cold enclosure, wherein the porous material comprises a plurality of light elements selected from the group consisting of Be, B, C, N, O, F, Mg, P, S, Li, Na, Al, Si and Cl, wherein the porous material comprises at least 2 light elements selected from the group consisting of Be, B, C, N, O, F, Mg, P, S, Li, Na, Al, Si, and Cl, and each of two light elements comprises at least 10 weight % of the porous material. 5. The apparatus of claim 4, wherein each of two light elements comprises at least 15 weight % of the porous material.6. The apparatus of claim 4, wherein each of two light elements comprises at least 20 weight % of the porous material.7. A method for using hydrogen as fuel, comprising the steps of: providing at least one container having a cold enclosure; placing in the cold enclosure a porous material capable of occluding hydrogen, wherein the porous material comprises at least 2 light elements selected from the group consisting of Be, B, C, N, O, F, Mg, P, S, Li, Na, Al, Si, and Cl, and each of two light elements comprises at least 10 weight % of the porous material; providing a channel for hydrogen flow out from and into the cold enclosure by fitting at least one container with at least one port; storing hydrogen in the porous material in the cold enclosure; providing a hydrogen-fueled device, the device connected to at least one port on at least one container; and allowing hydrogen to flow out from the cold enclosure to the hydrogen-fueled device through at least one port. 8. The method of claim 7, wherein each of two light elements comprises at least 15 weight % of the porous material.9. The method of claim 7, wherein each of two light elements comprises at least 20 weight % of the porous material apparatus.
