1. A method for generating hydrogen comprising the steps of:
- a) providing a hydrogen carrier fluid comprising hydrogen carrier molecules or particles being dissolved or dispersed in an inert fluid medium;
b) providing an activator fluid comprising water having a conductance value below 0.5 μ
S;
c) injecting the hydrogen carrier fluid and the activator fluid into a first reaction chamber;
whereind) the hydrogen carrier fluid and the activator fluid are injected into the reaction chamber in order to cause an intensive mixing of the hydrogen carrier molecules or particles with the activator fluid.

Abstract
A method and a device for generating of hydrogen are provided with which an instantaneous release of hydrogen in considerable amounts is possible. The method comprises a one or two step mixing including injecting the fuel and an activator fluid into a reaction chamber. The device is adapted to be operated with such a method. Further, a fuel suitable for the use with such a method is provided, the fuel being based on a dry metal hydride or a dry metal borohydride being dispersed in a non-aqueous dispersion medium. Moreover, a method for (re-) fuelling the hydrogen generating device at a service station and a method for supplying a service station with fuel are provided.
