A method for greatly accelerating the storage of gases such as hydrogen in clathrates by supporting the clathrate phase on a highly macroporous emulsion‐templated polymer is presented. The gravimetric penalty is low due to the low bulk density of the support, no mechanical mixing is required, and the system is fully recyclable over multiple charge/ discharge cycles.
