or methane soda water - same idea, a bit less
dangerous.

Neither are very soluble in water as a liquid but methane clathrate is being investigated for storage. |
|
|
The real issue when it comes to storage--of anything--is
how much space it takes up, and if you infuse water with a
hazardous gas, you're storing the gas _and_ the water. Not
to say that the infusion will take up twice the space of the
separate components, but it will take up more space than
just the gas, and it will be much heavier, which hikes
transportation costs. |

Acetylene is transported in pressurised cylinders as a solution in Acetone. |
|
|
It seems to work fairly well, certainly compared with Plan "A" which was just to compress raw Acetylene in a steel tank ... |

Maybe you could make a fizzy spirit drink using a gas soluble in Ethanol. |
|
|
because you can store a lot of volume at a relatively
low pressure, just like soda. |
|
|
Except that you can't; carbon dioxide is a special
case, being much more soluble in water than
hydrogen and most other gases. |
|
|
Don't give up - just store the hydrogen in the oxidised
form, which is soluble in water. |
